FOR THE APPEAL OF
Paul David Paginton
by
K BORER MA, B3C, DPhil, CChem, PRSC, ATSC, AlFireE
SUMMARY
In December 1997 Mr Paul Paginton was convicted
of murdering Matthew >John Thompson on 1st March 1997
We are now reconsidering
all the documents we hold to consider
whether the fatal
stab wound in Mr Thompson's neck could have
been self inflicted
by Mr Thompson impaling himself on a shard
while the shard was
still in the window frame,
In our opinion, such a mechanism is in accord with the available
evidence.
