EDMONTON – A jury trial is to begin today for a man and his son who are accused of killing two Métis hunters.
Roger Bilodeau and his son Anthony Bilodeau are charged with second-degree murder.
Family and friends of Jake Sansom and his uncle Maurice Cardinal have said the two were out moose hunting when they were found dead on a rural road near Glendon, northeast of Edmonton, in March 2020.
They had been shot. The RCMP has said a verbal confrontation escalated into a fight between people in different vehicles.
