The Commonwealth of Virginia plans to use DNA evidence collected from multiple items in the couple's home, including a hairbrush belonging to the victim and a reciprocating saw, to support its case against Naresh Bhatt, who is accused of killing his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt.
The Commonwealth of Virginia plans to present DNA evidence at the trial of the man accused of killing his missing Manassas Park wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt. The Commonwealth filed the notice on December 19 of its intention to offer the results of the DNA analysis at Naresh Bhatt’s trial, which is slated to begin next September. Naresh is charged with murder, physically defiling a dead body and concealing a dead body.
\This is actually critical evidence for the Commonwealth,' remarked John Fishwick, a former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia who is now a defense attorney. per state law, the Commonwealth has to give the defense this notice of intent as the first step to get that DNA evidence into the trial. He expects the defense to object to this. The four certificates of analysis from the Virginia Department of Forensic Science, which are dated between August 28 and November 12, show the results of the DNA analysis during the investigation. The certificates indicate DNA was collected from multiple items inside the couple’s house, including a hairbrush belonging to Mamta, a piece of carpet, a garbage can, a bathmat, a reciprocating saw and knives. “It places the defendant in the house, blood evidence on the saw and in other places within the house that is connected to Mrs. Bhatt,' Fishwick said of the DNA evidence.‘I think the scientific evidence leaves holes that the defense will spend a lot of time trying to poke holes into,' Fishwick added, saying he believes the jury will use common sense to come to their own conclusion even though some of the evidence is less conclusive than others. 'I think overall, the jury will say: I think it's , and I think she was killed in this house.” Naresh was indicted by a grand jury for murder and physically defiling a dead body on December
