Victoria Padge Windslowe is accused of injecting industrial-grade silicone into a 20-year-old London dancer seeking to enlarge her buttocks.
Doctors during her murder trial say the 2011 injection struck a vein and caused the silicone to move to the victim’s heart and lungs.
A friend says that Claudia Aderotimi was a student and competitive break dancer who wanted to look better and boost her “self-esteem.”
Theresa Gyamfi’s testimony from a 2012 preliminary hearing was read to jurors Thursday because she did not return from London for the trial.
