Defence attorneys continued to challenge the forensic evidence in the murder trial of Saleim Harrigan, Wayne Thomas and Lasean Bully, raising questions about how key items were documented and verified.
During cross-examination, attorney Sherfield Bowen focused on a bag recovered at Perry Bay that investigators linked to the victim, senior Customs official Nigel Christian, based on tea bags and Swiss chocolate identified by his partner. However, the crime scene manager admitted the tea bags were not recorded in his original statement, despite earlier testimony that all contents had been documented. He also confirmed he never asked the witness how she knew the items belonged to Christian.
Attorney Michael Archibald further questioned the evidence, with the sergeant acknowledging he could not recall what the tea bags looked like, that neither item had been tested for DNA, and that he did not know where they are now.
A juror also raised that the car keys found in the ignition of Christian’s abandoned truck were never examined for fingerprints.
Harrigan, Thomas and Bully are accused of abducting Christian from his McKinnons home on July 10, 2020, before he was later found shot dead in Thibou’s. The trial resumes Tuesday.
