Prosecutors say a Toronto woman who disappeared five years ago was murdered and burned in an incinerator for being the odd woman out in a love triangle.
Crown lawyer Jill Cameron has laid out the prosecution's first-degree murder case against Dellen Millard, 32, of Toronto and Mark Smich, 30, of Oakville, Ont., in the death of 23-year-old Laura Babcock, whose body has never been found.
Cameron has told the jury they will hear evidence that shows Babcock told Millard's girlfriend she was sleeping with him.
The Crown alleges Millard bought an incinerator shortly before Babcock went missing in the summer of 2012 and used it in late July to burn Babcock's remains.
Millard and Smich have pleaded not guilty.
Cameron walked the jury through some of the evidence the prosecution will call, including text messages between Millard and his girlfriend.
