Oldbury murder trial: Home Office pathologist gives evidence as husband pleads not guilty to killing wife Paramjit Kaur at Wolverhampton Crown Court
Wolverhampton Crown Court hears evidence from a Home Office pathologist as Oldbury husband Harminder Mattu denies murdering his wife Paramjit Kaur
A Home Office pathologist giving evidence on the third day of a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court of an Oldbury man accused of killing his wife said there was clear evidence of her having pressure applied to her neck.
Paramjit Kaur, aged 46 was found dead on Monday, March 31 around 8am at the home in Swan Crescent, Oldbury she shared with husband Harminder Mattu, who is on trial for her murder.
Doctor Alexander Kolar, a pathologist who examined Mrs Kaur's body in the mortuary at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, took the stand at the court and said there was 'clear evidence of neck pressure' and that it was an important factor in her death.
But he also said there was clear evidence of her suffering a sharp force injury described as being a "stab-type wound" which had "gone 2.4 centimetres into her body".
