INIUBONG UMOREN: MEDICAL CONSULTANT/ PATHOLOGIST IN THE WITNESS BOX
“My Lord, I performed a post mortem examination on a body identified as Iniubong Umoren and these are my findings:
*a moderate decomposing body of a young female African origin.
*The body muzzled and swollen. She wore an earring on the right ear, no earring on the left ear. The two eyes collapsed and bulged out of the surface. The lips swollen and mouth open.
*The pubic area was well shaved with no injury or mark on it. The toe nails were painted blue, fingernails red. Three openings on the forehead. Two on the right hand side, one on the left. Right forehead measured 4×1.5cms, 6cms above the right eye orbit, 2cms below the hairline.
*Left acceleration hairline measured 8x3vms above the left eye margin. Right acceleration measured 4x4cms from the midline of the centre head.
*By openings, all the organs were in abnormal and anatomic positions. There was excessive milk colour fluid on the thoracic cavity.
*All the internal organs were in advantage stage of decomposition. On the brain, there was moderate bleeding beneath the scalp, no skull fracture. The brain was completely decomposed.
*I also carried out microscopic examination of the skin acceleration and it showed vital reactions which meant that the reactions occured when the deceased was alive.”
