WINNIPEG — A prosecutor says a Manitoba man on trial for killing a young Indigenous woman met her on a popular online dating site.
Brett Overby, who is 32, is charged with second-degree murder in the 2016 death of Christine Wood.
Wood, who was 21, had travelled from Oxford House First Nation to Winnipeg with her parents.
She was last seen leaving a hotel where they were staying, and was later found in a shallow grave near a farmer's field.
The Crown has told a jury that Wood met Overby on Plenty Of Fish and messages on social media show they planned to meet the night she disappeared.
The defence has yet to lay out its case.
