Greg Fertuck told an undercover police officer that his dead wife Sheree's final resting place was a bluff of trees off a "hunting highway," not far from the gravel pit where he shot her, according to testimony heard Friday at Fertuck's trial for first-degree murder.
Fertuck gave directions while trying to lead three undercover officers to the place where he said that he had dumped Sheree's body, the officer testified.
"Leave the gravel pit and turn right. Go past two sloughs and turn left. Take the 'hunting highway' [an unmarked crossroad] and cut across the field," Fertruck told undercover police in June 2019, according to the officer's testimony.
Fertuck is now accused of murder in the death of Sheree, his estranged wife. She disappeared on Dec. 7, 2015, after heading to work at a gravel pit near Kenaston, Sask. Greg Fertuck was charged with first-degree murder in her death in June 2019. He has pleaded not guilty.
Greg told undercover police officers, who had targeted him in a so-called "Mr. Big" sting, that he had shot and killed her at the gravel pit the day she was last seen, his trial at Court of Queen's Bench in Saskatoon has heard.
A Mr. Big sting is an RCMP technique where police pose as criminals to get a suspect to disclose what happened to a victim.
None of the undercover officers involved in the sting focused on Fertuck can be named because of a court-ordered publication ban.
