Today is day seven in the Naresh Bhat trial.
Yesterday the jury saw for the first time what
investigators meant previously speaking
of the blue star liquid agent blowing up being
super visible when it was used in the defendant's home
to track possible traces of blood. So with
that and more let's get to Stephanie Ramirez previewing
this next day of the trial. Morning
Steph. Yeah guys exactly that.
So we heard police and investigators previously talk about this
after the defendant Naresh Bhat was arrested.
Now, we actually heard a Prince William County,
actually a former Prince William County forensics investigator,
explain this in court as she walked
through photos. So we see that for the first time.
I want to show you an example that we have where
in this photo, she said that it had been taken
from a section of the defendant's master bedroom
carpet. They blue started again back at their office
and you can see it light up there. A
square was cut out.
And this is where it reacts positively, showing bright blue and there's
traces of possible DNA evidence.
Again, a piece of rug was cut for the actual DNA testing.
The jury also was shown other photos of how
the agent reacted positively inside the couple's
bedroom. They saw photos of the Blue Star chemical going
from the couple's bed toward
the master bathroom. And the jury
also saw the positive Blue Star reaction on a light
or to the side of a light switch in the master bathroom
and other parts of the bedroom and
bathroom area as well.
We also heard Naresh Bhat's demeanor change a bit in an August 18th
interview that was played for the court.
This was an interview that the defendant did with an
independent journalist from Nepal.
And you hear some of that changes. He was being pressed on why
he didn't inform anyone of his wife missing August 1, 2, 3, and 4.
August 5th is when he
filed the missing persons report
here's some of that and guys
the prosecution started to get into
the droves of cell phone data as well both cell phone data
from Mamta Kafle Bot's phone and Naresh
Bot's phone and also Naresh Bot's Tesla
um again Naresh Bot for those who've been following this
He is facing charges for the murder of his wife,
Mamta Kafle Bot, and also charges for the dismemberment
and discarding of her body back in 2024.
Today, we are expecting to pick up
with that former Prince William County forensics investigator.
Guys.
