DNA samples taken from the clothing of Connor Gibson, 20, found “widespread blood staining” on the accused’s jacket which experts said was compatible with 16-year-old Amber Gibson. The stains included a dropped spot of blood matching Amber Gibson’s DNA which could have come from an “open wound”, Ms Gunn said. Gibson’s defence agent, Tony Graham, asked Ms Gunn if it was possible the DNA evidence linked to the accused on his sister’s clothes could have been “secondary transfer” from being in close proximity while taking a photograph. Mr Graham then asked if the DNA evidence linked to Gibson on his sister’s clothes could have been “secondary transfer” as a result of this contact when taking a photo of the pair, to which Ms Gunn said it was possible.
