HAMILTON – Closing arguments are expected to conclude today in the trial of two men accused of killing a Hamilton man who vanished three years ago after taking two strangers for a test drive in a truck he was trying to sell.
The Crown is expected to take the day to argue its case in the death of Tim Bosma.
Dellen Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
Smich testified at the trial, which began more than four months ago, that it was Millard who shot and killed Bosma and burned his body in an animal incinerator.
Millard’s lawyer says it was Smich who accidentally shot Bosma in the truck during a botched robbery.
The Crown alleges the pair meticulously planned for more than a year to kill and burn a human being.
