In a shocking turn of events, one of the people accused of a fatal 2018 stabbing appeared to have flashbacks on the stand, prompting him to plead guilty to manslaughter.
That brought an abrupt halt to the trial, which had been ongoing for 22 days.
Noah Vaten was accused of killing 23-year-old Esa Carriere in downtown Kelowna during Canada Day festivities in 2018.
It was Vaten’s fourth day on the stand.
Throughout the rest of the trial, he had always maintained that he didn’t remember anything around the time of the stabbing.
However, on Monday, Vaten told court that he started remembering more details over the weekend, including stabbing a knife in the grass to get rid of the blood on it.
He said he felt scared at the time.
Under cross-examination, Vaten also testified that he suddenly remembered calling his dad after being released from the drunk tank the next morning.
