Blood found in home of Suffield woman accused of killing her husband
A Medicine Hat courtroom heard blood was found on a cutting board, the stairs and many floors of the residence of Deborah Belyea, who is on trial for the second-degree murder of her husband Alfred.
Const. Melissa Archibault and Cpl. Jacques Neri, forensic specialists with the RCMP, detailed their investigation of the Belyea residence in Suffield in the days after Alfred’s body was found in Piapot, Sask.
A knife was missing from a knife block beside the cutting board where blood was identified. That knife was in the dishwasher in photos shown to court.
The officers also found blood on a handle belonging to a garbage bin found on the concrete porch outside the Belyea residence. Blood was also verified as staining the interior of a Volkswagen Golf, one of the Belyea’s vehicles.
