Thirty-four-year-old Vishnu Santie was shot seven times about his body and died as a result of those multiple gunshot injuries, according to Government Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, when he testified before Justice Franklin Holder and a mixed jury, on Thursday.On trial for Santie’s murder are Peter Ray Kassim called ‘Donkey’ and Satnanand Sahadeo called “Boyso.” They allegedly murdered Santie on June 29,Sale NFL Jerseys, 2005, during a failed robbery attempt at his home at Lot 57 Stewartville Pasture, West Coast Demerara.When the trial resumed on Thursday, State Prosecutor Judith Gildharie-Mursalin,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, who is appearing in association with Renita Singh, made an application for the evidence of the Pathologist to be interposed in the continued cross-examination of witness, David Boucher.Sahadeo’s attorney, George Thomas, who is cross-examining Boucher, had no objections and Justice Holder acceded to the request. The other accused, Kassim, is represented by attorney-at-law,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Outlet, Hukumchand.Deemed an expert in the field of Forensic Pathology by the Trial Judge, following an application by the Prosecutor, Dr. Singh explained his findings as contained in the post mortem report which was already admitted into evidence through Police Officer, Norris Harry, who had witnessed the autopsy on July 1, 2005.Dr. Singh explained that one of the gunshots entered Santie’s chest just below his right nipple, downwards and into the right pulmonary artery and into the fifth rib next to the spine, lodging under the skin on the back. It was removed and given to Corporal Harry. Another bullet was also removed from the knee and given to the police officer.According to the Pathologist, Santie sustained two gunshot wounds to the upper body and five below the navel. He said these wounds were from front to back and back to front and no soot or gunpowder residue was seen. He,Wholesale China Jerseys, however, explained that the distance from which the shooter(s) were standing would determine whether these are evident.He opined that from the gunshot injuries sustained, Santie could not have lived for more than 15 minutes.Under cross-examination, Dr. Singh was asked by Hukumchand whether the person who had the gun had to be taller than the victim since the bullets seemed to be downwards and across. Dr. Singh said ‘not necessarily,’ explaining that Santie could have been crouching and that would explain the injuries to the chest which were at a 90 degree angle. He also accepted that the gunman could have been taller for the injuries to the chest.But for the lower body injuries, Dr. Singh said the gunman did not have to be taller as a gun can be pointed downwards. He was asked whether he knew how Santie came by his injuries and he said no.When re-examined by the Prosecutor, Dr. Singh was asked whether the downward trajectory of the bullets were consistent with the shooter(s) being on a stairway with Santie and Dr. Singh said yes, explaining that the shooter could have been one step higher than Santie based on the angle of the chest injuries.When cross-examined by Thomas, Dr. Singh said when he removed the two bullets from Santie’s body, he placed them either in an empty film container or an envelope, taped same and wrote the post mortem number, the date and signed same and handed it over to Corporal Harry. At that stage, Thomas applied for the taped envelope/ container to be produced by the Prosecution. But Gildharie-Mursalin submitted that the preservation of the chain of custody of those bullets, which were already admitted into evidence, the court having been satisfied with the nexus evidence, had been preserved through Corporal Harry.The defence application was refused by the Trial Judge.Following Dr. Singh’s evidence, Thomas continued his cross-examination of Boucher who had testified that about a week after Santie’s death, Sahadeo had taken a gun to his home and asked him to clean it.He said the gun had water dripping from it and when he asked Sahadeo how it was in that condition, Sahadeo had told him that was the gun he used to shoot Frank Santie’s son and following that, he had to throw it in a drain and it got rusty.He said he asked Sahadeo what happened at Santie’s home and Sahadeo told him that he and others had waited in the yard for Vishnu to come home,Tevin Coleman Falcons Jersey, “to stick him up” and take him upstairs when his mother opened the door, to rob the family.He claimed Sahadeo said that Vishnu Santie recognized them and put his hand to his waist as though he was drawing a gun and he (Sahadeo) does not take chances with his life so he and others shot Vishnu.Bou
