After two and half years, the evidence portion of the trial closed on Wednesday and the Crown and Fertuck will prepare their closing arguments.
Greg Fertuck has chosen not to testify at his trial in Saskatoon where he stands accused of killing his estranged ex-wife Sheree in 2015.
Fertuck’s trial has been ongoing since 2021, delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Fertuck’s health, and multiple voir dires.
After two and half years, the evidence portion of the trial closed on Wednesday and the Crown and Fertuck will prepare their closing arguments.
On June 21, 2019, while being recorded on a hidden camera at the James Hotel, Fertuck told police he killed his ex-wife three-and-a-half years earlier.
The officers were posing as crime bosses in an organized crime group.
“I ended up shooting her, and that’s just between you and me,” Fertuck told the undercover officer.
He told the officers he had went to the gravel pit where Sheree worked to reason with her over divorce proceedings.
Cellphone data has placed him at the pit on the last day Sheree was seen, Dec. 7, 2015.
