Brett Ronald Overby, 32, admits he is responsible for Christine Wood’s death but has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
A Crown prosecutor says a Winnipeg man on trial for killing an Indigenous woman committed a ghastly crime worse than any horror movie.
He told a jury that the 21-year-old woman’s throat was slit. She was stabbed 11 times. And her skull and leg were broken.Davidson also pointed to evidence that Wood’s blood was on the floor, walls and stairs of Brett Ronald Overby’s basement. His lawyer told the jury that Overby didn’t mean to cause Wood harm, and asked for a verdict of manslaughter.Wood had travelled to Winnipeg from Oxford House First Nation in remote northern Manitoba in the summer of 2016. She was staying at a hotel with her parents, who were in town to support a family member having surgery, the night she disappeared.
He further testified that he took Wood down to his basement to show her a mouse skeleton. He said Wood then came at him with a knife and he blacked out.Story continues below advertisement
