The defence has thrown a curveball in the murder trial of former Dunedin doctor Venod Skantha by accusing a key Crown witness of being involved in the death of Amber-Rose Rush.
Mr Skantha is on trial in the High Court for murdering the 16-year-old in February last year.
The Crown's key witness took the stand for a second day today, and RNZ Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown was there to hear the evidence.
