English to Italian: CRIME SCENE ASIA by Liz Porter General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English DEATH ON FATHER’S DAY
The prosecution had assembled an array of forensic scientists to support their argument that Eu had been lying when he told police that Yu Hong Jin had stabbed him first and that he has acted in self-defence. The prosecution's argument would be that events had unfolded in the reversed order. Eu, they would say, had strangled his lover in a jealous rage. He had then stabbed her and “arranged” the scene by stabbing himself and placing the knife in the dead woman’s hand. After that he had passed out from the pain of his self-inflicted injuries.
The defence's expert, of course, would be presenting evidence that suggested Eu had been telling the truth.
Frustratingly for the Singapore public, which was agog at the case, the hearing was then adjourned. Everyone would have to wait two whole months to hear the first of the forensic scientists give evidence.
The first scientist to testify was HSA’s senior consultant forensic pathologist, Dr Wee Keng Poh. It was his job to examine a victim's body to establish the cause and manner of death. In this case, given that there were two clashing narratives about the death, his evidence was going to be especially important.
Translation - Italian MORTE ALLA FESTA DEL PAPÀ
L’accusa aveva montato una schiera di specialisti forensi a sostegno della loro tesi, secondo cui Eu stava mentendo quando disse alla polizia che fu Jin ad accoltellarlo per prima e che lui aveva agito per autodifesa. Secondo la loro tesi, gli eventi si sarebbero svolti nell’ordine inverso: Eu, a detta loro, aveva strangolato l’amante in uno scatto di rabbia dettato dalla gelosia; l’aveva poi pugnalata e aveva “sistemato” la scena accoltellandosi e piazzando l’arma in mano alla defunta. Dopodiché era svenuto dal dolore per le pugnalate autoinflitte.
Lo specialista della difesa avrebbe, ovviamente, presentato le prove che suggerivano che Eu stesse dicendo la verità.
Il pubblico singaporiano, impaziente per la risoluzione del caso, rimase frustrato quando l’udienza venne in seguito aggiornata: avrebbe dovuto aspettare due mesi interi per sentire la deposizione del primo degli specialisti forensi.

Bio
As far as I remember, I've always had a thing for languages.
I've studied English, French and Spanish in high school, and took English and Russian as Major when studying at University. My thesis was a translation of a few chapters from the Australian author Liz Porter's "CRIME SCENE ASIA. When forensic evidence becomes the silent witness".
Since graduating in Translation in 2019, I've got interested in healthcare and have helped Nursing students and professionals with minor translations.
