AN alleged murder victim's DNA was found on the knickers of the woman accused of killing him, a court has heard.

Bailey Heywood, 22, of Germander Way, allegedly stabbed Mr Bond, 45, twice in the chest at his home address in Mullein Road on the morning of March 13.

The pair were reportedly dating for a year prior to the incident.

She has denied the charge of murder as well as an alternative charge of manslaughter and is now on trial at Oxford Crown Court, which is expected to last two to three weeks.

During the proceedings on Thursday (September 5), the jury heard evidence from forensic scientist Claire Morse.

DNA profiling was performed on a number of items found in the home, including two knives, a pair of knickers, pyjama bottoms, and a jumper.

Prosecutor Jeremy Benson KC asked Ms Morse to explain the DNA found on a pair of purple and pink ‘thong-style’ knickers which were found on a coffee table in the room Mr Bond was found deceased.

Ms Morse said: "Yes, semen was present on the inside and outside of the knickers. The DNA profile matched that of Mr Bond so therefore the semen could have originated from him.

"It's been estimated that the scientific findings are in excess of a billion times more likely to have originated from Mr Bond.”

Asked to explain her interpretation, Ms Morse said: "With regards to the results from the knickers, [Heywood] had worn the knickers at one point.

"In regards to the semen, they [Heywood and Mr Bond] had engaged in some sort of sexual activity."

She said she is unable to tell how long the material was there before testing.

In cross-examination, Heywood’s barrister asked: “If, for example, the wearer had stabbed Mr Bond and once he started to bleed freely if they had been on top of Mr Bond shaking him or trying to hug him that would account for most of the bleeding?"

Ms Morse explained that this is a possibility and would explain the spots of blood as well as the larger stains.

Blood found on two knives examined by the scientist also matched that of Mr Bond.

The trial will not be sitting on Friday (September 6) and will resume instead on Monday (September 9) with the prosecution expected to conclude their case in the morning.
