‘She was slaughtered:’ Winnipeg jury hears closing arguments in murder case
WINNIPEG — A Crown prosecutor says a Winnipeg man on trial for killing an Indigenous woman committed a ghastly crime worse than any horror movie.
“How did Christine Wood die? She was slaughtered,” Brent Davidson said in his closing address Tuesday.
He told a jury that the 21-year-old woman’s throat was slit. She was stabbed 11 times. And her skull and leg were broken.
Davidson also pointed to evidence that Wood’s blood was on the floor, walls and stairs of Brett Ronald Overby’s basement.
