Venod Skantha's trial continues in the High Court at Dunedin - where he's pleaded not guilty to murdering 16-year-old Amber-Rose Rush.
The jury's heard from a key witness' friends - who were with him the night he says he drove Skantha to Amber-Rose's house.
The Otago Daily Times reports a 23-year-old woman says she overheard a phone conversation between her friend and the doctor.
She says Skantha was angry about a social media post Amber-Rose had made and was talking loud and fast - as her friend tried to reassure him.
