Man Accused Of Plotting To Kill Wife, Lover's Husband, Says It Was Just Talk

  • Man Accused Of Plotting To Kill Wife, Lover's Husband, Says It Was Just Talk
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — The trial of two lovers accused of plotting to murder their spouses heard one of the accused tell an undercover officer it was just talk.
 
Angela Nicholson, 51, and Curtis Vey, 52, are on trial in Prince Albert court on charges of conspiring to kill their spouses, Brigitte Vey and Jim Taylor.
 
The jury listened Tuesday to audio of Curtis Vey in a cell talking to an undercover RCMP officer on July 6, 2013 — the day he was arrested.
 
Much of the recording is Vey and the officer discussing jail food, Vey's farm equipment and the names scratched into the walls of the cell.
 
Vey also tells the officer that he and Nicholson talked about killing Nicholson's husband, but added, "people talk all the time."
 
He also said RCMP took his phone and cellphone, but said police wouldn't find anything.
 
"I got nothing to hide, they can go through all the paperwork they want…all they'll catch is a few emails to a couple women, but that's not incriminating anyways."
 
Court has already heard that Brigette Vey hid an iPod under the kitchen table at their farmhouse in Wakaw, Sask., and recorded her husband and Nicholson.
 
On that tape previously played in court, Vey and Nicholson are heard talking about doctoring Taylor's coffee with sleeping pills, making him disappear, and planting a will that would leave everything to Nicholson and her two daughters.
 
The pair also talk about using sleeping pills on Vey's wife and setting Vey's house on fire.
 
The trial is expected to finish on Friday.
