Testimony has wrapped up at the first degree murder trial of William Sandeson.
The defence called its final witnesses to the stand yesterday, but not Sandeson, who is charged with killing Taylor Samson.
The judge adjourned proceedings until Monday when the lawyers will give their closing arguments to the jury and then the judge will give his charge to them the next day.
Veterans Affairs Canada isn’t saying what specific steps were taken after the triple murder-suicide in Upper Big Tracadie earlier this year.
It wouldn’t confirm specifically if a suicide review was conducted after Afghan Vet Lionel Desmond killed his wife, daughter and mother before turning the gun on himself. A department spokesman says suicide reviews are systematically carried out…but because of client privacy and confidentiality, the department cannot comment on any specific veteran’s care.
The comments came after the provincial medical examiner refused to conduct a fatality inquiry into the case.
