A witness in the murder case of Mary Graceoned Pineda, a Filipino nurse who worked at the IGMH, says she saw the victim's husband and the prime suspect, Marvin SY Vargas, abusing a mentally ill child.
The trial of the charges against Marvin and his girlfriend Haleemath Lamha is underway. The prosecution witnesses are currently giving their testimonies.
In the latest hearing, the court heard the testimony of an IGMH ER nurse who said that she was on duty when they brought in Mary's body. The witness said that when she was brought in Mary did not have a pulse and that her arms and face were blue.
The witness said that the nurse kept saying that Mary was found hanging but that there were no signs of hanging on her body.
The Witness also recounted seeing Marvin grab a 14-year-old boy with a mental illness by the neck and push him toward a table when he refused an injection. The Witness said that she had not talked about the incident any further.
Another witness, a foreign nurse working in the dialysis department of IGMH, said in her testimony that she saw the victim crying in the ward a few days before her death and that she shared that her husband was involved with another woman. The witness said that Mary did not give any more details of the affair.
Marvin is facing murder charges for the death of his wife while his girl friend, a local nurse named Lamha, is also on trial for the murder of Mary.
