An expert in the impact of bones struck by tools took the stand Thursday during the trial for Cody Alan Legebokoff.
Steven Symes testified that after an autopsy on Loren Donn Leslie was completed in Kamloops, her body was transported to Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania where he took a closer look at the injuries to her right hand, facial bones and skull.
Crown prosecution is alleging a multitool and pipewrench with Leslie's blood on them were found in Legebokoff's pickup truck on the night on Nov. 27, 2010, when her body was found near a gravel pit off Highway 27 between Vanderhoof and Fort St. James.
Symes told the court the right side of Leslie's face was hit at least four times.
Legebokoff is accused of first degree murder in Leslie's death as well as those of Jill Stacey Stuchenko, Cynthia Frances Maas, and Natasha Lynn Montgomery.
Symes is continuing his testimony this afternoon at the Prince George courthouse.
