  2. It should be noted here that the mobile forensic laboratory personnel also arrived at the scene; Among them was Officer Noam Amer (hereinafter: "Amar"), who testified before us and through whom exhibits were submitted (P/30 to P/33). Omar was summoned to the scene of the murder in order to examine and seize forensic findings (if any) and to examine them.  As part of the "Scene Examination Report - Murder in Afula", he documented the findings at the scene.  This witness also submitted P/32, which is a summary report of the forensic investigation, regarding the knives that were seized at a later stage, upon the defendant's arrest, and these were brought for laboratory tests.  This document includes two reports, the first page relates to 17 knives that were brought for inspection on March 1, 2016, and the second page refers to two knives and a knife knife that were brought for inspection on February 28, 2016.  According to the results of the test, no findings were found.  During the witness's interrogation before us on 8 March 2017, he reiterated that he had been asked to conduct tests to detect a substance suspected of blood on the knives.  However, he did not discover any findings (p. 95, lines 5-10).

In P/30, he stated that there was a puddle of blood at the scene of the incident, which apparently marked the place where the deceased was lying.  He also noted that there were drips of blood at the scene.  The witness did not know how to explain the significance of the signs of the blood dripping by stating that he lacked data; This is what he said – "... I received initial information when I arrived that the deceased was indeed lying on an electric bicycle in the area of the puddles of blood, and I still could not give information as to what had happened at the scene(p. 95 of the transcript, lines 1-4).

In addition, the court file was submitted with the opinion of Dr. Hadas Gipps, who serves as a forensic physician at the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir, who performed the autopsy on the deceased's body. The review was submitted and marked P/125, which indicates that based on the findings of the autopsy of the deceased, and based on the medical record, his death was caused by sub-volumetric shock, extensive blood loss, from two stab wounds that damaged the left lung and probably also to the intercostal blood vessels.

The same opinion also noted that the stab wounds were caused by a sharp object, such as a knife blade, with at least one sharpened rim, and a second lip, probably blunt, with a blade length of at least 7 cm (an estimate based on the depth of the longest stabbing channel up to the sternum cavity), and its width up to about 3.5 cm.  (An estimate based on the length of the longest rib in the puncture wound).  (ibid., p. 8 of the opinion, P/125).
