BENTON, Tenn. — The woman who died in what prosecutors say was a rampage by Bradley Davis Waldroup Jr. was shot eight times and slashed repeatedly on the head with a machete, according to testimony Wednesday at his murder trial.

Mr. Waldroup faces the death penalty if he is found guilty of murder in the October, 2006, death of Leslie Bradshaw. He is also charged with the attempted murder of his former wife, Penny Waldroup.

The attack took place when Mrs. Waldrup, accompanied by Ms. Bradshaw, brought the former couple’s four children for a visit.

On Wednesday, the Davidson County medical examiner testified that three of the shots that struck Mrs. Bradshaw and the machete wounds all would have been fatal.

Mrs. Waldroup described the attack in detail on the first day of trial Tuesday.

Polk County Detective Kevin Cole produced the machete and a shovel he said Mr. Waldroup used to beat his wife, severing one of her fingers and repeatedly cutting her as he chased her through a wooded area behind his mobile home.

“This was an expansive crime scene over a large area,” Detective Cole said. It began in the driveway, continued in the mobile home and moved back outside, he said.

Defense attorney Sherrie Young asked Detective Cole if he tested the blood to see if it came from either victim. He said that wasn’t needed because only the women were wounded.

“It was clear where it came from,” he told the jury.

Med-Trans paramedic Russell Parslay described treating Mrs. Waldroup’s injuries.

“She was very withdrawn and balled up. She had multiple lacerations,” he said. She was flown in a helicopter to a hospital after the attack.

He said he saw the couple’s four children, who were splashed with blood but uninjured, sitting in a police car. They saw the attack from inside the mobile home, police said.

The trial continues today and Mr. Waldroup’s attorneys said they expect to begin their defense.

The jury was chosen in Bradley County and remains sequestered.
