Testimony begins at trial of young woman charged in New Brunswick man’s murder
MONCTON, N.B. — The murder trial of a young Moncton woman has been told the teenage victim was found dead in a burned home with “numerous injuries.”
RCMP forensic investigator Cpl. Patrick Gould testified Monday at the trial of Marissa Shephard, 22, in the murder of 18-year-old Baylee Wylie of Moncton.
Gould told the jury he gathered evidence at a fire-charred house in a Moncton suburb on Dec. 17, 2015.
“The first and second levels were covered in soot. There was lots of water on the floor where firefighters had put the fire out,” Gould told the court.
