Gurney wasn't present at the time I was there. As I said, it was a possibility they had given me at the scene, Brown says.
I took it upon myself to process everything I had seen at the scene and taken into account what CSI team had told me.
Combrink says she is not led by the CSI team.
The tiles damaged, whether by gurney or axe, I processed everything. There were not sure if it was the gurney, that is why I processed everything.
No, you processed the axe, Combrink says.
Combrink says says 'Vir iemand met 'n nuwe hammer, lyk alles soos 'n spuiker'.
Tells Brown the appropriate thing would have been to obtain medical scoop and to compare the edges
Scoops used to stretcher people from an accident.
He has handed up a photo of one. Its made of metal and has edges, Combrink points out. Top end has metal edges, then blades coming down. They are balanced on a hard surface.
Combrink says she could have found something like this and compared it. Brown says it wasn't part of the crime scene.
It's not there at the time she normally arrives at the scene.
Something as an objective scientists she should have checked, Combrink says. She doesn't agree.
We know the axe is not what caused the damage on the stairs, Combrink says.
Brown refuses to exclude it, saying she cant testify on someone else's photos.
