Cousin says Greg Fertuck pestered him for ammunition, threatened him
CBC
Clayton Fertuck testified that his distant cousin, Greg Fertuck, pestered him for shells in 2015 and 2016.
Clayton was called as a witness Monday at the first-degree murder trial of Greg, underway at Saskatoon's Court of Queen's Bench. Greg is accused of killing his wife Sheree and getting rid of her body in December 2015. Clayton testified about text messages he exchanged with Greg in September 2015. Greg pushed Clayton to link him with some ammunition, as Clayton pushed off the request. Clayton testified that he never planned to get bullets for Greg, and was trying to make the conversation "go away." It did, but then in November 2016 Greg messaged him again, saying he still hadn't seen any shells and pushed again for ammunition. Clayton didn't respond, then Greg called him a stupid boy. Clayton said he told Greg not to call him that. The two started exchanged shots over text message, with Greg eventually saying "better think about how long you want to be around, pilgrim." Clayton took the text messages to the police, because he believed he had received a "possible murder threat." "When he asked how long i wanted to be around I thought that might be something police wanted to see," he said. "I was concerned he might know where I live."
