Daniel McAnaspie’s murder trial at the Central Criminal Court heard on 23 February 2017 that post-mortem evidence suggested his body was moved after death.

Dr Khalid Jaber’s report said Daniel died from penetrating sharp-force trauma to internal organs, and that his death would have been painful and not necessarily instant.

Richard Dekker denies the charge of aiding and abetting the murder; he said surgical gloves found in his pocket were to keep his hands warm.

The trial was continuing, with the report saying it would resume the following day.
