Police searches and possible escape routes the focus on day six of the second-degree murder trial of Dennis Oland who is accused in the death of his father, prominent businessman Richard Oland, more than four years ago in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Constable Michael Horgan testifying at the trial about searching for evidence in various locations with his police dog including the alleyway behind 52 Canterbury Street—the building where Richard Oland’s body was discovered—and Dennis Oland’s property on the Gondola Point Road in Rothesay but didn’t turn up anything.
Horgan being cross-examined by defence lawyer Alan Gold. Gold showing him various pictures and pointing out there was another alleyway leading to Germain Street near the alleyway behind 52 Canterbury Street.
Gold saying someone exiting 52 Canterbury Street could come out the back door, wind up on Germain Street or Grannan Lane or come out the front door. He says what’s important is that whichever way the killer or killers left Horgan found no evidence of their departure which Horgan confirmed.
The trial continues on Monday.
