The state called several witnesses on Thursday, including detectives, Duxbury’s boss and Samsudean’s landlord.
Much of Thursday’s testimony revolved around the medical examiner.
"It did have the odor, as I would describe, as cleaning solution," described Dr. Gary Utz, Deputy Chief Medical examiner of District 9. "I'd be an idiot not to entertain the idea of a sexual assault."
Investigators found Samsudean's body in her apartment complex.
Duxbury faces charges of first-degree murder, attempted sexual battery with a weapon or physical force, and burglary of a dwelling with assault or death.
