Key evidence:
• Light blue and orange paint fragments found on the victims' bodies and at the crime scene matched the paint on some of Lundy's tools
• Dark blue paint fragments also found did not match any of Lundy's tools
• Fibres from underneath the victims' fingernails did not match Lundy's polo top
• There was 1 million million million chance that DNA on Lundy's shirt came from Mrs Lundy
• A second DNA sample from an unknown person could have come from contamination
• Tests on fingernail scrappings from Mrs Lundy and Amber found DNA from males unrelated to each other, but samples were not good enough to compare to anyone
The weapon or weapons used to kill Christine and Amber Lundy would have been brought down with force in order for paint to have become embedded on their bones, a court was told today.
ESR scientist Sally Coulson told the jury in the High Court in Wellington if painted properly, it would be difficult for paint to fall from an object - "paint does not fall off by itself".
Tools belonging to Mark Lundy were painted light blue and orange - fragments with the same chemical and elemental composition were found in the wounds and on the bodies of his wife and daughter.
Lundy, 56, has denied killing them in the early hours of August 30, 2000.
