Python trial resumes today

Jury deliberations are expected to begin Wednesday in the trial of a man accused of criminal negligence in the deaths of two young boys who were killed by his python in Camplbellton.

The trial of Jean-Claude Savoie will resume today with only 11 people in the jury box after one was dismissed for unspecified reasons Friday. The jurors will hear from one remaining prosecution witness…a former curator of reptiles and amphibians at the Toronto Zoo. Then the defence will present its case.

Fatal accident on Highway 107

A young woman is dead and two children in hospital after a single vehicle accident on Highway 107 last night.

RCMP say the accident happened around 7:00pm between exits 18 and 19 when a 24 year old woman from East Jeddore suddenly swerved off the road into the ditch. The children, aged 9 and 13, were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation continues.
