A FORENSIC scientist showed a court a “face mask” print on a pillowcase found at the home of the man accused of murdering Hampshire student Emily Longley, pictured.

Darryl Manners pointed out to the jury what he thought were the mascara marks from the eyes, the mark of the nose and the pink impression of lipstick on a beige pillowcase taken from the Elliot Turner’s home in Bournemouth.

Mr Manners said there were no “significant signs of smearing”

and added the pink material on the case was similar to the pink material in the swab taken from Emily’s mouth.

Mr Manners told the court he also examined Elliot Turner’s shirt seized by police after Emily died and found smears of brown material on the right sleeve of Turner’s white shirt.

He compared them with swabs containing foundation taken from the right side of Emily’s face and neck and said it provided “strong support” for the proposition that they came from the same source, the court heard.

Another forensic scientist, Nicholas Oliver, told Winchester Crown Court he examined an area of mucus found on the back of the right sleeve of Turner’s shirt and found it contained the DNA of at least three people.

He said two full DNA profiles were found – one was Turner and another was Emily. The third was not a full match.

Turner, 20, is accused of murdering Emily, 17, on May 7 last year.

He is also accused, together with his parents Leigh Turner, 54, and Anita Turner, 51, all of Queenswood Avenue, of perverting the course of justice. All three deny the charges.
