The Crown intends to call a qualified fingerprint expert, Detective Sergeant Bush, who I understand will give evidence that that transfer pattern or mark, identified as V1, had identifiable friction ridge details but was not otherwise able to be identified as belonging to any of the deceased by comparison with fingerprints and palm prints taken post-mortem.
Detective Sergeant Bush’s evidence has been relied upon by the accused in a bail application or applications prior to the commencement of his trial in May 2012 as supporting his case that he was not the killer.
In December 2014 (that is, after the second trial was discontinued but before the trial commenced before me), Detective Sergeant Harkins was invited by the Crown to give further consideration to the circumstances in which the friction ridge details identified as V1 (and also V2 and V3, which are not relevant for presented purposes) were deposited. Detective Sergeant Harkins’ further statement signed in January 2015 sets out the scope of the opinion sought, the assumptions he made and the limitations he imposed on his reasoning to any concluded view on the likely deposition scenario, including that it was based upon or limited to his knowledge, experience or training in the field of bloodstain pattern analysis. He also nominated the material he had access to in forming his opinions, including, in particular, the statements of Detective Sergeant Bush, dated July 2011, June 2012 and February 2014. In that regard, Detective Sergeant Harkins confirmed his understanding that the source of the friction ridge detail in V1 (and V2 and V3) is undetermined, although the blood through which, or across which, the transfer pattern in V1 was applied, is a mixture, and that neither Henry Lin nor Terry Lin could be excluded as contributors. He also noted that the deceased have not been excluded as being the source of those marks in the view of Detective Sergeant Bush, however, in Detective Sergeant Harkins’ view, he could safely exclude Min Lin, Lily Lin and Irene Lin as the course of the mark based upon his previously expressed opinion that they were deceased or dying before the assaults on Terry Lin and Henry Lin were launched.
