2nd Woman Testifies Against Winnipeg Suspect In Death Of Woman Found In Barrel

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 May, 2019 08:18 PM

    WINNIPEG — A woman is testifying that she was once wrapped in duct tape and threatened with a meat cleaver by a Winnipeg man accused of killing another woman whose body was found in a barrel.


    Perez Cleveland, who is 46, has pleaded not guilty to killing 42-year-old Jennifer Barrett in December 2016.


    Holley Sullivan has told court that she started dating Cleveland after they met working at a call centre in Toronto in 2010 when she was 21 and he was 36.


    She said the relationship started well, but it quickly turned abusive and more women began living with them.


    Sullivan is currently serving time after pleading guilty for her role in hiding Barrett's body in the barrel.


    Earlier this week, court heard that Cleveland shared the Winnipeg house with his adult daughter and five women who were described in court by one of them as "sister wives."


    The defence has argued that one of the women, Jessica Reid, was jealous, on methamphetamine and was violent towards Barrett.
