Car ‘blood’ disputed
NZPA-AAP Adelaide Conclusive proof exists that Azaria Chamberlain was not murdered in her parents’ car as suggested by the Crown during the trial of New Zealand-born Lindy Chamberlain, it was claimed last week.
Blood allegedly found on the dash support bracket of the vehicle belonging to Michael and Lindy Chamberlain was not blood
at all, according to a New South Wales scientist, Lee Smith.
In a paper circulated at the International Criminal Law Congress, Mr Smith claimed that what the Crown asserted was human blood containing haemoglobin F (a blood component found only in babies under six months old) was actually an under-body sound deadener made by Dulux.
