A death trial had to be halted after a monkey ran off with the evidence.
It snatched a packet containing 15 objects...including the alleged murder knife.
At a pre-trial court hearing in Jaipur, northern India, police had to admit that since the stabbing they had lost the evidence and were unable to retrieve it. Bizarrely, it had been left under a tree as there was no room to store it at the police station.
