New trial ordered for Saskatchewan lovers convicted of plotting to kill spouses
REGINA — Saskatchewan’s top court has ordered a new trial for a man and woman convicted of conspiracy to murder their spouses.
Three Court of Appeal judges unanimously agreed that a trial judge erred in his charge to the jury that convicted Curtis Vey and Angela Nicholson in 2016.
The jury heard that Vey, who is from Wakaw, and Nicholson, who is from nearby Melfort, were having an affair.
They were arrested after Vey’s wife made a secret recording of the pair plotting to kill her and Nicholson’s husband.
