Morning all.

This is a really really rushed post, sorry I can't be here with you for the most part of this week.

I had a listen to Joubert's afternoon recording very late last night. He isn't the easiest person to listen to but it's more informative than the tweets. Recording here [video=youtube;TTgkiR0oesk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTgkiR0oesk[/video]

Court reporters did a good job but missed some details.

Henry is not just toast, now he's fried too!

HvB said in his initial statement that he didn't come out of the toilet until after the assault on Teresa!

Joubert said (paraphrasing) the spatter on his socks was from being in close proximity to the attack on Teresa.

He also said the duvet was moved off Henri's bed after the attacks, and was found on the floor close by Rudi (at the foot of the bed). On the left bottom corner of Henri's duvet was a pattern of the sharp edge of the knife blade with Rudi's blood! He also said the knife edge was clean.

Lastly he said in his annexure he explains why he doesn't think the attacks happened in a sequence! (from my memory - maybe not his exact words). I'll see if I can transcribe the relevant portions tonight.

I'm sorry I have to love you and leave you. Catch up later..T

Thank you Tortoise, looks like his fate is sealed! These are very important details, looking forward to those transcriptions.

Hahahaha! :floorlaugh:

Can some bright spark suggest what HvB is thinking here.

'Oops, I'm in trouble.' :devil:

Botha gave him the evil eye for dropping the ring causing an almighty noise! Wake up Botha, it's over!

My mind is in overdrive about Tortoise's revelations Joubert believes the attacks might not have happened in the sequence HvB said.
Hmmmm, he's coming unstuck, I hope his family turn to justice, if they can forgive.... but accept the reality, HvB murdered his family!

We are back in court Adv Galloway is continuing her lead examination

Joubert is going to read out his supplementary report

Joubert received the knife found on the scene

J: I received digital images of the knife from W.O Olifant

J: I received DNA report compiled by LC Sharlene Otto

J: I received grey colour duvet ex 139

J: Grey Duvet ex 139 had multiple spatter blood stains,full penetration,this is criteria used to assist in differentiating spatter

Deposition of spatter on 139 duvet was impact by force

Donor of the blood stains on grey duvet 139 was Rudi and Martin

Correction exhibit 139 had Rudi's blood stains on it and exhibit 138 had Martin & Rudi's stains

Yesterday Joubert said 139 was the duvet taken from Rudi's bed and 138 was the duvet on the ground at the bottom of Henri's bed

J: during my officail duties I presented the knife to Dr Dempers who analysed it in my presence and I returned it to my office

J: I compiled a statement wrt position on scene of grey colour duvet (138) and movement of objects creating patterns on the scene

J: blood stains on the body of Rudi, patterns on the head of Rudi, spatters on adjacent house wall, position of victims during

incident, possible position of suspect during incident
 
https://twitter.com/Traceyams

J: The grey colour duvet marked 138 - Henri's duvet, J's opinion is that this was moved after blood shed event

There was a void on Henri's bed which suggests his duvet had been there at the time of incident and removed thereafter

J: I placed duvet in 2 different positions 2 indicate the position the duvet cover may have been in-photos of 2 possible positions

J is reading out the manners he folded the duvet to reconstruct where Henri's duvet (138) had been at the time of blood shed

Donor of spatter blood stains on 138 (Henri's duvet) is Rudi

J: Shape of the void on henri's bed displays characteristics, the shape and lines, of the grey duvet marked 138

J: I observed multiple blood stains on the knife blood

J: blood clot on knife blade, the knife was likely moved or placed on the bed

Spatter blood stains on knife blade, not possible to define exact mechanism the stains suggest gravity probably created as result of blood dripping from the source of motion when rudi van breda, with mulitple head injuries was moved off the bed

J: Spatter blood stains on knife blade which suggests impact or alternatively penetration splatter blood stains on knife blade, circular

J: Non- spatter blood stain on knife blade, irregular shape, lateral movement. Suggests contact as deposition mechanism

Probably created by contact between knife blade and bloodied object

Dealing with grey duvet in Henri & Rudi's room.Possible blood DNA of Rudi & Martin found after 12 cuttings were taken from duvet.

DJgrfIpW4AAxQbm.jpg


Here's the cover of Capt. Joubert's blood splatter report.
 
The second report to be discussed.

Joubert examined the duvet. Saw multiple bloodstains and spatter bloodstains. Full penetration of the fabric????.

One blood stain belonged to Martin van Breda. Another to Rudi van Breda.

DNA of Rudi and Martin identified from cuttings. He made 12 cuttings.

Second duvet. 14 cuttings. Rudi's DNA found on this duvet.

Void noted on Henri #VanBreda's bed (which broke bloodstain pattern) indicates it may have been caused by duvet being moved, Joubert says

Blood stain on the knife, classified as a swipe stain, contact deposition mechanism. Hair like object created swipe (carpet)

J: non splatter stain, regular, lateral movement visible toward tip of knife which indicates direction. Swipe stain, contact as possible deposition mechanism, contact transferred blood to the knife blade

J: observed similarities between knife blade and pattern transfer

J: photo of blade of knife compared to photo of outline, black outline obtained from Henri's bed

J: patter transfer on Henri's bed has similar outline to the knife found under Rudi's bed

Blood stain patterns observed on the body of Henri van breda

J: i observed multiple blood stains on upper body

1. blood pattern originating from superficial wounds, flow pattern suggests Henri was torso erect with insignificant movement of #vanbreda

upper body before it dried 2 flow patter observed from superficial injuries on left arm of Henri,similar position of photograph 73

insignificant movement of left arm

J: pattern similar to knife on Henri's duvet was created before the duvet was rolled and placed or thrown on the floor

The grey duvet 138 adhered to the blood on the bedroom floor which suggests the grey duvet was placed or thrown on the floor after
The area on the floor covered with grey duvet is outlined on the photo indicating blood stain patterns

The blood stains created below the grey duvet before it was placed there

Henri's duvet was placed on the floor after the blood shed and pool



https://twitter.com/AJGMolyneaux

Multiple blood stains found on knife blade, some possibly due to gravity, some from lateral movements of knife (swiping)

Blood found on Henri:superficial injury left chest above nipple-no deviation,followed contours,torso was erect when injury occured.

Superficial injury L lower arm,no deviation of blood.Followed contours of arm.Insignificant movement of arm when injury happened.
 
https://twitter.com/Traceyams

J: Flow patterns on Rudi's head indicate that he was in similar position in photo with only a slight raise of his head

J: flow patterns indicate no significant movement of Rudi's head during the flow

J: spatter blood stains probably created when force was applied to the victim Rudi

Spatter indicates direction in which blood drop has travelled after force applied on the bed of Rudi

J: spatter blood stains on window sill and bed side cabinet suggest impact as possible deposition mechanism

J: when force is applied to blood source, blood broken up and radiated outwards

J: refers to photos indicating possible flight of drops and possible position of suspect and victim

Henri said he was standing in slightly open bathroom door with a view of the bedroom

In my opinion suspect was standing next to the bed when Rudi was attacked


Impact spatter patterns originate from and area on the bed transport pattern impact was projected and originated from area in the vicinity of the bed. Injuries sustained by Rudi, horizontal and linear wounds sustained to the back of his head

my opinion is that rudi was lying on his stomach with head facing adjacent wall when he was attacked

Injuries sustained by Rudi to his head and his pinky finger assisted J in arriving at this conclusion

Injuries sustained by Rudi suggests he was surprised asleep or unaware prior to attack


J: It is my opinion Martin was probably attending to his son when he was attacked

J: injuries sustained by Martin support this-Martin sustained wounds to the back of his neck and back

J: injuries sustained and absence of wounds to forearms/frontal aspects of Martin

J: Martin did not have time to respond to attack

J final position of Martin suggest he entered the bed from the left near table

J: injuries sustained by Martin support this view. Injuries sustained to back of his head, neck and back

J: Teresa probably attacked in the door way of Henri and Rudis bedroom

Spatter indicative of projection mechanism most probably created by object in motion or when object in motion came to abrupt halt

J: Teresas injuries, vertical linear lacerations sustained to the right side of Teresa's head

J: Teresas head injury and defensive wound suggests victim was most probably facing her attacker when injuries sustained

J: My opinion that suspect attacked Teresa in the doorway of the boys' room



https://twitter.com/AJGMolyneaux

J: Left pinky finger of Rudi may have been injured in defense of his head. Rudi was 'surprised, asleep or unaware' when attacked.

J: it is my opinion that Martin (father) was most likely attacked while attempting to help Rudi. Injuries to back of his head.

J: Teresa was attacked in doorway of Henri and Rudi's room.

J Summary: Rudi asleep on stomach when attacked,Martin hit from behind while trying to help Rudi, Teresa hit in doorway to H & R room.
 
https://twitter.com/Traceyams

Drawn this conclusion by the blood stains injuries he mentioned for his previous conclusion on where Teresa was

Marli was most likely in the same area as Teresa when she was attacked

Marli had lacerations on her lower arm which suggests she had defended herself


https://twitter.com/AJGMolyneaux

J: Teresa (mother) was facing attacker when hit.

Marli - defensive wounds found. We will take a break from court and continue.
 
Blood stain patterns observed on Henri's body.

Tammy Petersen @TammyPetersen87
Blood clot noted on Victorinox knife, indicates may have been moved. Knife found on bed, believed to have been moved from floor.

Joubet's opinion is that Rudi was lying on his stomach with head facing adjacent wall when he was attacked. He was either asleep or unaware.

Joubet says Martin was probably attending to his son when he was attacked. Martin sustained wounds to the back of his neck and back.

Henri #VanBreda’s superficial injury above left nipple: no deviation in blood flow pattern. Torso erect, little movement before blood dried.

Martin didn't have time to react to attack. He was attacked in Rudi's bed.

Teresa likely attacked in the door way of Henri and Rudi's bedroom.

Teresa's head injury and defensive wound suggests she was most probably facing her attacker.

Marli was most likely attacked near Teresa.

Court adjourns for tea.

Sorry folks for the lack of news. Tammy Petersen is really slack. This is 20 minutes worth!
 
Prime, if you need a break, just holler. I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs and I know how often Tracey tweets.
 
Hi Everyone :wave:


High-Tea_25-570-270.jpg



Late, but not breaking tradition now we've started, HvB is going down and we're here to support Martin, Teresa, Rudi and Marli!
 
Prime, if you need a break, just holler. I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs and I know how often Tracey tweets.

Thanks JJ, I'm going good so far, you had your day yesterday. Tracey is a gem!
 
Thanks for the tweets. I'm watching live and reading too. Its easy to miss things with the accent so I like reading it also.
 
JJ, do you think Botha will throw the towel in? Is it all up to Henri or can Botha make that decision?
