In the murder trial of Constable Noel Maitland, a government forensic analyst testified that blood samples from his Chelsea Manor apartment were a 99.9999 percent match for Donna-Lee Donaldson. Under cross-examination from defense attorney Chadwick Berry, the analyst confirmed that DNA can be transferred through casual contact and that menstrual blood contains genetic material.
Donaldson's DNA was reportedly identified on several items within the residence, including a brown drape, a Puma shoe, and a pillow cover. A separate DNA analysis of a swab from a grey BMW's trunk revealed a mixture from at least four individuals, excluding a sample from Donaldson's toothbrush.
Maitland, a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, has denied charges related to the social media influencer's murder and the prevention of her lawful burial. The proceedings continue in the Home Circuit Court.
