Dr Nilawati said this during the examination-in-chief by Deputy Public Prosecutor Liyana Zawani Mohd Radzi at the High Court here today.
“From the examination, I found that there was a new laceration to the hymen as well as abrasions and redness at the bottom of the vagina,” she said.
Dr Nilawati said vaginal lacerations can be caused by a penetration of a blunt object or a penis, or a finger, and a new laceration means that it must have occurred less than 72 hours before the victim was examined.
