DOVER, N.H., Maine's former Chief Medical Examiner testified on Monday that the knife and machete wounds that resulted in the death of Aaron Wilkinson could've been inflicted by one or two people, not necessarily all three defendants in the case.

Dr. Margaret Greenwald, under questioning from defense attorney Mark Sisti, said there was no way to determine how many individuals caused the death by the nature of the wounds, themselves.

Tristan Wolusky, 19, of 46 Lowell St. in Rochester, Zachary D.J. Pinette, 19, of of 58 Rankin St., Springvale, Maine; and Michael Tatum, 21, of 236 Young Road, Barrington, N.H., are all accused in the death that occurred June 21, 2014, in the driveway of Wilkinson's Madbury home.

Pinette and Tatum have already reached plea deals of second-degree murder in exchange for their testimony against Wolusky, who faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted of first-degree murder.

Wilkinson, who was 5'8'' tall and weighed 127 pounds, was stabbed and struck with a machete 22 times during the fatal attack, Greenwald said.

His body was then dumped along Long Swamp Road in Lebanon.

Sisti says his client was involved in a botched robbery of drugs and money, but that Tatum and Pinette did the killing.

The trial continues today and will likely run through mid-October.
