Mr McDonald took over the resuscitation attempt.

Mrs Vengaliene was seen twice after she left her house and was alone both times.

A few hours after finding his wife Mr Vengalis was arrested and charged with her murder. Mr Vengalis spent nine months in custody before his trial in which the prosecution offered no evidence.
