An Indian professor, who tested the blood sample of Mary Grace Oned Pineda, a Filipino nurse who worked in the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) in Malé City, has testified in court that traces of a potentially lethal injection called succinylcholine were found in her blood.
Two nurses from the same hospital, Haleemath Lamha and Marvin SY Vargas, who was also Mary's husband, are charged with the murder. Authorities believe that Lamha and Marvin were having an affair, and colluded in murdering Mary in October, 2021.
