Tim Bosma Trial: Dellen Millard's Ex-girlfriend Says She Thought Nothing Of Hiding Video Camera

The Canadian Press, 27 Apr, 2016 01:58 PM
    HAMILTON — The former girlfriend of a man facing murder charges in the death of Tim Bosma says she never considered handing over a key piece of evidence until she was arrested as an accessory after the fact nearly a year later.
     
    Christina Noudga told a Hamilton court that Dellen Millard gave her a video camera that she hid in her closet, but says she thought nothing of it even after her boyfriend was charged with the murder of Bosma in 2013.
     
    Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Bosma's death.
     
    The Crown alleges Bosma was shot at point-blank range in his truck and his body later burned in an animal incinerator known as "The Eliminator."
     
    Bosma vanished on May 6, 2013 after taking two strangers for a test drive in the truck he was trying to sell. His body was found more than a week later, burned beyond recognition.
     
    Noudga says she didn't think the video camera was important, and said she had no idea what Millard was up to in the crucial days following Bosma's disappearance.
     
     
    Court has already seen video extracted from the device that showed a truck hauling what appears to be "The Eliminator" outside Millard's hangar in Waterloo, Ont.
     
    The video also shows two men who resemble Millard and Smich walking through the hangar in the early hours of May 7, hours after Bosma disappeared. Flares are seen coming from the incinerator.
     
    Noudga, expected to be one of the Crown's star witnesses, testified that she could not recall many details. Court heard she faces a separate trial in November as an accessory after the fact to Bosma's murder.
     
    Court saw numerous text messages between Noudga and Millard, many of them discussing the "mission" Millard was conducting.
     
    She said she never asked him details about the mission and was not aware of Millard's plans to steal a truck, which others have testified about.
