Crew member expected to testify at murder trial of fisherman in Cape Breton

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Nov, 2014 10:47 AM

    PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. — The trial of a Nova Scotia man charged in the death of a lobster fisherman whose body has never been found is expected to resume today.

    Joseph James Landry of Little Anse has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the slaying of Phillip Boudreau on June 1, 2013.

    The Crown has argued that Landry and two other lobster fishermen were aboard a vessel called the Twin Maggies that rammed Boudreau's boat three times in Petit de Grat harbour.

    The jury has been told they will hear testimony today from Craig Landry, one of the crew who was aboard the Twin Maggies.

    Last week, jurors were shown Boudreau's damaged boat in the basement of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Port Hawkesbury.

    An RCMP firearms expert testified that Boudreau's boat was shot at from different angles.
