CALGARY — Family members of a slain Alberta peace officer say they are feeling pain, anger and despair on the eve of a verdict in the trial of a man accused of killing him.
Robyn Halbert says her brother Rod Lazenby (LAY'-zehn-bee) did not deserve to die so cruelly.
Trevor Kloschinsky (kloh-SHIHN'-skee) is charged with first-degree murder in Lazenby's death on property near Priddis where Kloschinsky was breeding dogs.
The defence has argued that Kloschinsky is not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder, and the Crown does not oppose that position.
Halbert says she hopes that justice will be served, but adds that no matter what happens, it will not relieve the family's pain.
Kloschinsky has admitted to causing Lazenby's death and dropping him off, handcuffed and unconscious, at a southeast Calgary police station in 2012.
