Trial Of Two Men Accused In Tim Bosma Murder Resumes In Hamilton

The Canadian Press, 21 Mar, 2016 12:54 PM
    HAMILTON — The trial of two men accused of killing a Hamilton father is set to resume today after a week-long break.
     
    Dellen Millard of Toronto, and Mark Smich of Oakville, Ont., have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Tim Bosma's death.
     
    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.
     
    The Crown alleges Bosma was shot at point-blank range inside his truck and later his body was burned in a large animal incinerator.
     
    Court has heard that blood inside the truck and on the outside of the incinerator was likely Bosma's — the chance it wasn't his blood was pegged at one in 18 quadrillion by a forensic scientist.
     
    Bosma's truck was found at Millard's mother's house north of Toronto and the incinerator discovered at a farm near Waterloo, Ont., owned by Millard, the heir to an aviation company started nearly 50 years ago by his grandfather.
