Tragic youngster Nikki Allan was 'dragged to cellar after attack in abandoned building', court told
Schoolgirl Nikki Allan was taken into a cellar after she had been attacked in a separate part of an abandoned building, a forensic scientist has told a court.
She confirmed there was a brick on the floor that appeared to be bloodstained. It was passed around to jurors to demonstrate its weight, which is 5.75 pounds, and had blood on all six faces. “The hair, which was long, was not beneath her head but flowed out and lay between the hands. Her left hand was bent over her hip and her knee was lying over her arm and her left arm was lying over her left calf.”Ms Parkinson added that the T-shirt had been rucked up under the child's armpits and the upper part of her torso was exposed.Ms Parkinson added that Nikki’s socks were coming off her feet and the soles of the socks were dirty.
When she was asked for her opinion on how the body had got there, Ms Parkinson said: “I formed the opinion the body had been dragged at least for some distance by holding the legs or ankles. By pulling the body by the feet, the clothing on the upper body would ruck up. If he had pulled the body by the arms instead, the trousers would come down.
Ms Parkinson said: “A bloodied area has bit hit while Nikki was lying on the plank. Something has hit her and projected the blood.”
