0.01 Based on the hair samples we are seeing…constituting proof if deliberate homicidal intent. Over and above there are forensic specialists whose expert opinion they have taken, and they also said such high levels of cadmium in the hair.. that the person may die within two days, this is clearly a case of manage hair homicidal poisoning. What is your comment on this?
0.25 It brings me back to the same point again and again. When you are looking at something like this cadmium which is number one, unexpected in a situation of murder, or malicious poisoning, and we want to know why that was use in this particular case what advantages it had and what made someone suspect that cadmium could have, or in this case it is one aspect.
0:50 The other aspects are like for instance, what you have suggested just now, as to how come antimony, arsenic which are there, why was it decided that we will not make that the primary poison when arsenic has the reputation of being a good choice for a homicidal? History tells us, so what makes the person think let’s make that secondary and make cadmium primary. What advantage does cadmium have over arsenic as a homocidal poison. As a toxicologist I have no clue. So again I find that a little matter of concern.
1:25 Because cadmium was 200 times more than normal and arsenic was 20 times more than normal.
1:31 So when you have levels like that you have to be very suspicious that there is something wrong with the results. One can not really jump to the conclusion that: Look, you know such high levels means surely that it is poisoning. He was killed with this poison, that is like you know.. a bad eureka. There is a good eureka, there is bad eureka. You have to be very careful as a scientist when you say eureka. And here that person should have said. Oh this is very unusual. Let me find out for sure if I am right or wrong. Before jumping to a conclusion, oh I have got something, it is very… I will take two minutes…to draw a parallel with another case
Paraphrased( Man had symptoms of pesticides… where did he get it from… but in this case it went to the media I was asked why did I not find it. I said why would I look for it if there were no symptoms.)
4:15 In this case my question is similar.. you have happened upon cadmium,.. why did you pick cadmium? No2: You got high concentration of cadmium, why did you not get it retested to make sure your conclusion is right before making this premature conclusion. According to me these are premature conclusions.
