A Briton accused of murdering his wife and baby daughter made an Internet search on 'how to kill with a knife' just six days before their bodies were found, a US court heard.
WOBURN (US): A Briton accused of murdering his wife and baby daughter made an Internet search on 'how to kill with a knife' just six days before their bodies were found, a US court heard.
"A search was made on Google.com. Search was made with six words. 'How to kill with a knife,'" Lawrence James, a forensic computer expert and 20-year police officer, testified on Tuesday in Neil Entwistle's double-murder trial.
Entwistle, 29, from Workshop in the East Midlands, has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife Rachel, 27, and their nine-month-old daughter Lillian at their Massachusetts home in the United States two years ago using his father-in-law's gun.
James told the court that the Google search was made January 16, 2006, six days before Rachel and Lillian Entwistle were found shot dead at their home in an upscale Boston suburb on January 22, 2006.
On the eighth day of Entwistle's trial here, Assistant District Attorney Daniel Bennett told the court that records showed the suspect had searched the Internet for female escorts only hours before the murders.
Judge Diane Kottmyer excluded as evidence a naked picture of Entwistle that he allegedly posted on the Internet to attract "fun" sex partners, but allowed evidence suggesting he joined a sex swingers site from England in August 2005.
He said the defendant logged on to a mailbox on the sex site, "Adult Sex Finder," on January 20, 2006, using the username "ent."
Entwistle has remained blank-faced during the trial except when shown the crime scene video of the two bodies, when he broke down in tears. He sits with his family on the opposite side of the courtroom to his late wife's parents.
The case is expected to end by July 3.
