Trial Resumes For Dennis Oland, Charged With Murder Of His Businessman Father

Darpan News Desk, 24 Sep, 2015 12:45 PM
    SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The trial for Dennis Oland in the death of his father, well-known businessman Richard Oland, has resumed with testimony from a police officer who was among the first on the scene.
     
    The younger Oland has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the high-profile case.
     
    Earlier this week, court heard that Richard Oland's killer would have walked away from the crime scene in Saint John, N.B., spattered with his blood.
     
    Const. Duane Squires of the Saint John Police Force said he was called to Richard Oland's office at 52 Canterbury St. on July 7, 2011. 
     
    When he arrived, he testified that he noticed the smell of a decaying body and saw a lot of blood spatter in the room.
     
    The Crown has told the jury that Oland was killed in a violent outburst that resulted in 40 blows to his head and neck.
