A fingerprint found on a detergent bottle at the crime scene matched Felicity Altiman, a Sudbury court heard Thursday.
Altiman, 43, is on trial for second-degree murder in the December 2020 stabbing death of 75-year-old Robert Keskinen.
Keskinen's remains were found in his Kathleen Street apartment on Boxing Day by his cousin, Richard Keller. The Crown said in opening statements that he had been stabbed about 103 times and his genitals were mutilated.
The Crown also said witnesses will testify that Altiman frequently stayed with a friend in another apartment in the same building and had told others she would "steal from the old man across the hall."
Altiman was charged with Keskinen's death on Jan. 7, 2021.
Testifying on Thursday, forensic specialist Det. Const. Gregory Smuland of the Greater Sudbury Police said more than 100 photos were taken at the crime scene.
Those included inside the apartment where the homicide occurred, and the stairwell where the building's property manager found a pair of bloody jeans on Dec. 26.
