Dr Siew, who conducted the post mortem on Nazrin, said there was no evidence of laryngeal inhalation injury or soot in the trachea and deeper air passage of the victim.
Dr Siew, who has performed more than 2,000 post mortems, also listed 16 marks of injury that were found on Nazrin’s body.
They included a penetrating wound measuring 5×4 cm at the left parietal region, penetrating wound measuring 2×1 cm at the right side of the central forehead and penetrating wound measuring 2×1.5 cm at the upper half of the front of neck.
