Convicted Killer And Aviation Empire Heir Dellen Millard Is Broke, Court Hears

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Oct, 2016 12:54 PM

TORONTO — A convicted killer who is heir to an aviation empire has told court he has no money to pay for his defence in two upcoming murder trials.

Dellen Millard, who was convicted of first-degree murder along with Mark Smich in the death of Tim Bosma in June, told court Friday he has filed for legal aid.

Millard and Smich are scheduled to go to trial next September on first-degree murder charges in the death of Toronto woman Laura Babcock.

Millard is also charged with first-degree murder in the death of his father, Wayne Millard — CEO of Millardair — with that trial scheduled for March 2018.

Millardair was founded in 1963 by Dellen Millard's grandfather, Carl, who turned it into a multi-million dollar business — first shipping cargo and later as a passenger air transport service.
