June 18, 2008 Defendant's friends testify at murder trialPosted: 10:07 AM ET
WOBURN, Massachusetts – A very strong day for the Commonwealth as a DNA analyst testified that Rachel Entwistle’s DNA was on the muzzle of her stepfather's gun, and the defendant's DNA was found on the gun’s handle. A florist from Plymouth testified that Entwistle sent flowers and a card to his wife’s and daughter’s funeral instead of returning from his parent's house in the UK, where he went after he says he discovered them dead. Entwistle is charged with the murder of his 27-year-old wife and baby daughter in January 2006. He has pleaded not guilty. Two of Entwistle’s friends from York University, Dashiel Munding and Benjamin Prior, told jurors that they knew Rachel and Neil Entwistle to be a loving couple, and detailed conversations they both had with the defendant over dinner in the days before his arrest – including some apparent inconsistencies in his actions after he found his family murdered. Finally, a forensic computer specialist said that just four days before the murder, someone did a Google search from Entwistle’s laptop for “how to kill with a knife.” –In Session staff Filed under: Trials |
