He says Neil Snelson’s DNA sample matched evidence found at the scene.
Parmar told the B.C. Supreme Court trial that police showed Snelson photos of 19-year-old Cusworth but he denied seeing her at the party.
He said Snelson admitted to fooling around with one woman and having unprotected sex with another.
Court has heard Cusworth was strangled and beaten with a blunt object before being dumped in a ditch. (CKFR)
