Michael Chalmers, 36, stands trial for the 2024 murder and rape of Yuko, a 62-year-old Asian migrant sex worker found dead in a Melbourne brothel.
Michael James Chalmers, 36, is on trial for murder and rape in the death of Yuko, a 62-year-old Asian migrant sex worker whose body was found at a Footscray brothel between November 27 and 30, 2024.
Chalmers denies all charges.
His defense team challenged the investigation in Melbourne Magistrates Court, questioning why blood-stained sheets from the victim’s room were not tested and criticizing the lack of police follow-up on a claim by Yuko’s daughter that she saw footage of her mother being struck.
CCTV from the brothel’s hallway showed Yuko escorting clients but captured no interior activity.
Forensic pathologist Joanne Ho stated the cause of death could not be determined, citing facial injuries including hemorrhaged eyes and cuts, but found no conclusive evidence of how or when they occurred.
The case continues.
