Description

Interview with UK Home Office pathologist, Professor Austin Gresham, following his appearance in the Julie Ward murder trial in Kenya, where he told the court that he was convinced Ward had been beheaded, but admitted that he could not be one hundred percent sure as to what caused her death. He also revealed that a Kenyan pathologist’s report was riddled with errors. Despite intense questioning by defence lawyers, Professor Gresham says he is absolutely sure that Ward was murdered and not eaten by wild animals. Male interviewer not identified (poss. Simon Israel).
