Cell Phone Expert Continues Testimony At Tim Bosma Murder Trial In Hamilton

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Feb, 2016 11:07 AM
    HAMILTON — The trial of two men accused of killing Tim Bosma after he went on a test drive in his truck continues Thursday with a police officer's testimony about the movements of cell phones of the accused.
     
    Dellen Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, from Oakville, Ont., have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of the Hamilton man.
     
    Bosma disappeared on the night of May 6, 2013, after taking two strangers on a test drive of a black Dodge Ram pickup truck he was trying to sell. 
     
    His body was found more than a week later burned beyond recognition.
     
    Phil Wilkenson, a cellphone expert with the Ontario Provincial Police says Smich's phone, Millard's phone and a third phone, a prepaid one registered to Lucas Bate, travelled together from Toronto to Oakville to Hamilton and arrived near Bosma's home around 9 p.m. on May 6. 
     
    A Hamilton police officer told court Wednesday she lifted a fingerprint from Bosma's truck that matched Millard's left ring finger.
     
    The court also saw a grainy security video of a large trailer arriving at the home of Millard's mother in Kleinburg, Ont., at 10:30 p.m. on May 9.
     
    A neighbour called police about the trailer three days later and an officer testified he found Bosma's truck inside.
     
    Police had a scare when they were pulling the trailer on a highway and the rear doors popped open and a cardboard box flew out.
     
    Det. Const. Lauren Troubridge said she ran over the box and when she found it several hours later it was empty.
     
    The Crown alleges Bosma was shot inside his truck and later his body was burned in an incinerator.
