Can anyone explain this? Or just make a guess at what it signifies?
"Lawyers for Daniel Holdom, accused of murdering toddler Khandalyce Pearce, are yet to receive the results of a post-mortem examination on her body."

Khandalyce's decomposed body, which we have been told was just clean bones, was discovered in July 2015.
Way back then, Bray said they knew the cause of death but would not disclose it to the media.
In Sept 15 we were told they were extracting DNA, or trying to.
By they, the remains had been as forensically examined as it is possible to do.
On Dec 11 both mum and daughter were finally buried, so I'd assume the expects believed there was nothing more left to test.
So why has the post-mortem report not been delivered to the defence team?
Ditto for the missing witness statements.
My own belief is that this is being used as a delaying tactic, quite intentionally, by the prosecution, but I am curious to know if anyone has another explanation they can suggest.
Also, although the media have not mentioned it, there were technically 2 cases that were adjourned - one case for Karlie's murder and the other case for Khandalyce.
So what was the reason, or reasons for adjourning Karlie's case?
I wish there was a report directly from the court.
