Suspected murder
South Wales Police, Major Crime Investigation Team, Bridgend Police Station
Following the death of a child and claims from a defendant that she was asleep during various stages of events and that lights switching on and off throughout various time periods, were due to electrical faults and the installation of detectors controlling the lights, I was instructed to undertake an inspection of the electrical installation and to compile a report on my findings.
My report concluded that the electrical installation was rewired in 2018, was found to be fully operational and contained no such detectors causing the lights to operate automatically.
Client comment:
“Mr. Kelly responded promptly to our request, travelling a great distance to our scene with little notice. Mr. Kelly was extremely knowledgeable and professional, answering all our queries and providing the evidence we required.
Mr. Kelly provided a full and comprehensive report covering all the points we required and more. His report was professional, well written, and was again provided promptly.
Mr. Kelly was not required to provide evidence during the trial, but his comprehensive report prevented the defence teams from relying on certain lines of defence previously mentioned by one of the defendants.
I would certainly use Mr. Kelly again as an expert advisor.”
All three defendants were found guilty of murder and preventing the course of justice. They were all sentenced to life imprisonment.
