A forensic gunshot analysis and gunshot residue analysis has found that a Strathmore man was likely shot in the head by his common-law spouse from at least 60 centimetres away, an RCMP firearms expert testified on Friday.
Kramer Powley told Crown prosecutor Eric Tolppanen if the distance was closer, there would likely have been soot or gunshot residue on Kevin Dunseath's face. Dr. Sam Andrews, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy on the victim shortly he was killed on Aug. 9, 2008, said there was none.
Lela Mae La France, 40, is on trial for second-degree murder in connection with the death of Dunseath, 46, at their home following a stormy, eight-month relationship.
She has admitted to killing him with a sawed-off .22-calibre semi-automatic rifle just after midnight.The trial before Court of Queen's Bench Justice Sheilah Martin and jury continues.
