Nearly six years after Melinda Vasilije was found fatally stabbed in her Kitchener apartment, the trial of the man accused of killing her began Wednesday in a Kitchener courtroom.
Ager Hasan, Vasilije’s former boyfriend, is charged with second-degree murder in the 22-year-old’s death.
After three days of jury selection, fourteen jurors and two alternates were chosen by Wednesday morning.
The judge gave the jury some instructions, then the trial began with the Crown’s opening statement.
The judge told the jurors the statement is not evidence, but rather a roadmap of what they will hear in the coming days and weeks.
On April 3, 2017, Vasilije told Hasan, her boyfriend of a little more than a year, their relationship was over, the Crown told the jury Wednesday.
