An accused killer brought forward a series of admissions as part of his defence, with one that focused on a possible sighting of a young Toronto woman who vanished more than five years ago.
The self-represented Dellen Millard has not given an opening statement to the jury in his defence to a first-degree murder charge for the presumed death of Laura Babcock, 23, in the summer of 2012.
Millard also went through a lengthy series of text messages he sent and received with friends, including numerous texts with Babcock.
Millard, 32, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 30, of Oakville have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
The Crown alleges the pair killed Babcock because she was the odd woman out in a love triangle with Millard and his girlfriend.
The prosecution contends they burned Babcock's remains in a large animal incinerator that was later found on Millard's farm near Waterloo.
Her body has not been found.
