    A Dunedin jury will shortly hear about the bloody clues left behind - after a teen was killed

    A Dunedin jury will shortly hear about the bloody clues left behind - after a teen was killed


    Venod Skantha is on trial in the High Court - charged with murdering 16-year-old Amber-Rose Rush.

    But defence lawyer Jonathan Eaton QC suggests the Crown's star witness killed her - yesterday revealing the youth's past sexual abuse conviction and lies to police.

    Pathologists will be first on the stand this morning - talking about whether blood found on Skantha's shoes and in his car belonged to Amber-Rose.
