LIVE: Angelo Rodrigues murder trial - day two (From Bournemouth Echo)

3:57pm

Court finishes for the day.

3:57pm

Rosalyn Hammond has finished giving evidence.

3:52pm

Rosalyn Hammond - there was no evidence of attack in the lounge.

She said she couldn't rule out Mr Rodrigues sustained some injury at the front door but she found no positive indication of that.

3:50pm

Rosalyn Hammond: "Mr Rodrigues sustained serious bleeding injuries in the bedroom and this is based on the fact there was extensive heavy blood staining."

"The injuries which producd the most prolific bleeding were sustained in the bedroom.

"There was evidence that forceful injury was sustained close to the floor and near to the right hand side of the sofa bed. That could have been as a result of punching."

She said it appears Mr Rodrigues appears to have walked from the bedroom to the communal landing and then re-entered the flat. He then went into the lounge and then collapsed.

3:44pm

Rosalyn Hammond: Blood staining was found on a training shoe - caused by blood dripping onto it.

There were bare footprint impressions found in the hallway, together with drips of blood and trails of blood.

3:40pm

Rosalyn Hammond: Violent acts such as punching or kicking can produce splattered blood of the type I have seen.

She said in her opinion the deceased person could have been lying or sitting on the sofa bed after he received serious bleeding injuries.

"If he was held down in that area after he received bleeding injuries then that could have resulted in the blood stains I examined." 

3:24pm

Rosalyn Hammond: In the bedroom the majority of blood staining was on the bedding and carpet. There was also some near the door.

On a pink bottom sheet there were large areas of heavy blood staining and numerous circular staining from drops of blood.

3:18pm

Rosalyn Hammond examined Angelo Rodrigues' flat in Coleman Road, Bournemouth, on July 29, 2012.

Asked to look at pattern of blood staining in bedroom, hall and lounge.

3:12pm

The next witness is forensic scientist Rosalyn Hammond.

3:08pm

Dr Basil Purdue has finished giving his evidence.

2:56pm

Dr Purdue: There were no defensive-type injuries found on Mr Rodrigues' hands or arms.

2:55pm

Dr Purdue: The instrument used to inflict the injuries were "in keeping with a pair of kitchen scissors".

Mr Rodrigues would have fainted from loss of blood after a short while, probably within a few minutes.

There would have been an opportunity for him to walk around while copiously shedding blood.

Death is likely to have happened after a period of time - probably several more minutes.

A fatal outcome may possibly have been prevented by prompt and adequate first aid.

2:49pm

Dr Purdue said the force needed to cause the injuries on the back of the thigh which severed the main artery would have been "moderate to severe" using "pretty vigorous thrusts".

2:45pm

Dr Purdue said the half pair of scissors is consistent with being used to cause the injuries. 

Prosecutor Graham Reeds QC asked whether Dr Purdue thought any other bladed weapon could have been used in the attack.

Dr Purdue replied: "No."

2:32pm

Dr Purdue is now looking at half a pair of scissors with a black handle.

2:23pm

Dr Purdue says the principal injury was a stab entry slit on the back of the right thigh - the one that caused the most damage.

It went straight through the hamstring muscle and severed one of the two great arteries of the thigh.

He said this would have caused "extremely heavy bleeding" and went 15/16cm into the thigh.

2:14pm

Dr Purdue is now detailing the injuries found on Mr Rodrigues' shoulder, hand and forearm.

2:03pm

Jury are now back in court and Dr Basil Purdue will continue his evidence.

1:03pm

Court breaks for lunch. Back at 2pm.

1:02pm

Dr Purdue has described a number of stab entry slits in Mr Rodrigues' armpits, one of which punctured the left lung.

12:57pm

Dr Purdue: The injuries on the head and face includes red grazes on scalp and eyebrows, a tear in the skin on right eyebrow, a right black eye, a point puncture wound below the corner of the mouth, and point scratch cut on the left side of the jaw and at the bottom of the left collar bone. 

12:47pm

Dr Purdue: Created a computer-generated graphic of the injuries found on Mr Rodrigues' body.

Jury are being shown the graphic as Dr Purdue explains the injuries one by one.

12:41pm

Dr Purdue: Gave cause of death as multiple stab wounds.

12:40pm

Dr Purdue: Carried out a post mortem examination on body of Angelo Rodrigues on July 29, 2012, and produced a number of reports.
