Overview
- CCTV and mobile clips presented in Wolverhampton Crown Court were said to show a figure following Rhiannon Skye Whyte from the Park Inn hotel to Bescot Stadium station, throwing her phone into the River Tame, buying alcohol, and returning to the hotel.
- A nine‑second phone video shown to jurors appeared to depict the man alleged to be Deng Chol Majek dancing in the hotel car park while emergency vehicles attended the station.
- Detective Sergeant Rebecca Haywood narrated surveillance images that identified a two‑tone grey jacket, black cargo trousers and flip‑flops, and tracked a return to the hotel at 12:13am before a footwear change.
- Forensic pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer told the court Whyte suffered 19 puncture wounds to the head consistent with a screwdriver, with several penetrating the skull and one entering the brain; she died three days later.
- Hotel housing officer Tyler English testified he saw the man known as “DC” drinking and smoking with others after Whyte was taken to hospital, while Majek denies murder and possessing a screwdriver and claims to be 19.
