Murder trial falls over top medic’s evidence

The family of a man found dead with multiple injuries have been left with questions after the trial of the man accused of murdering him collapsed over doubts about evidence from a deputy State pathologist.

Mr Justice Barry White told a jury at the Central Criminal Court that “certain concerns” had arisen relating to the medical opinion of Khalid Jabbar.

He said this related to Dr Jabbar’s opinion as to the “mechanism of death” in the case before them.
