Douglas James Valentine
Government Medical Officer. On 25th February at the Public Mortuary I made a post mortem of deceased Reung Yuk Tong. I found a small bullet wound at the back of the right shoulder (illustrates through the medium of the Court Inter- preter). It entered the chest between the 3rd and 4th ribs
passed through the right lung and through the large artery and lodged just behind the breast bone. I extracted the ballet. This appears to be it. I gave it to Sergeant Rozeskwy,L.S.A.19 Those 2 men in Court identified the body (brothers of deceased)
Cause of death was haemorrhage caused by the bullet entering
the artery. The body was not clothed when I saw it.
Cross-examined.
Deaeased was not very tall but stout. I examined the
deceased's clothing and jacket from which I inferred the shot was fired at close quarters.
To the Court.
The area being circumscribed and the singeing on the coat lead me to say it was fired at close quarters.
