The jury has also heard evidence that Arnold made a trip to the Suroît Hospital in Valleyfield to get three catheters for Sandra Helm before the couple were driven to Magog.“When the older guy was there I might have been able to,” Helm said in reference to George Dritsas, 77, the father of Kosmas Dritsas, 51. Both have been described to the jury as accomplices of Arnold’s. “I don’t think would have stopped us. But like I said, we did not know where we were and had no way of going anywhere.

At first, he seemed reluctant to be critical of his eldest grandchild, but he eventually admitted he came to suspect his grandson was the reason behind the abduction.Article content
