Randjika Khairi: Carotid Artery

Peer Khairi Dept: Dr. Allan Hunt testified Tuesday that Randjika Khairi, 53, bled heavily from the knife that sliced her neck down to the spine, severing her carotid artery and jugular vein, according to The Star. Peer Khairi, 65, has pleaded not guilty in Ontario Superior Court to second-degree murder in the death of his 53-year-old wife on March 18, 2008 and an Afghan immigrant probably lay mute for several minutes, choking on her own blood from a slit throat, before her assailant resumed the attack and stabbed her five times, a pathologist says. Five additional stab wounds, to her chest, abdomen and back, bled much less than normal, suggesting they were inflicted several minutes after blood started gushing from her 10-centimetre-long neck gash, he said.
