A former Saskatchewan Mountie charged with first-degree murder said he was sometimes blackmailed and forced to have sex with the man he’s accused of killing.
Bernie Herman, a 33-year member of the RCMP, took the stand in his own defence on Thursday.
The 55-year-old is on trial charged with the murder of 26-year-old Braden Herman in May of 2021.
The two are not related.
Herman said he did not intend to kill Braden when they drove to the isolated area where his body was later found.
On the day of the alleged murder, Herman said he took an ATV training course through work. He testified he took his uniform and “gun belt” home to clean it, because the machine he would normally use was broken.
