Collapse of manslaughter trial over Jaber concerns

A manslaughter trial has been abandoned in the latest case to collapse over concerns about evidence by former deputy State pathologist, Dr Khalid Jaber.

Kevin Bruce walked free from court after hearing the DPP was dropping the prosecution against him.

It is the third homicide case known to have run aground because of issues surrounding Dr Jaber’s work. Sources say up to 10 more cases may collapse.
