Details of an undercover police operation that ultimately led to the arrest of a Nanaimo woman accused of killing, and dismembering her boyfriend were revealed in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday.
Paris Laroche, now 28, is standing trial for first-degree murder, as well as interference with a dead body in the death of her ex-boyfriend Sidney Mantee.
One of the officers involved in the operation was called to testify Thursday, neither he nor his partner can be identified due to a publication ban.
The officer said that he and his partner had three separate interactions with Laroche, the first on April 29th, 2021.
The pair was posing as a father and son, who had a female family member who had previously been in a relationship with Mantee.
“The cover story was that my sister had been in an abusive relationship with the victim and that we were there that day to try and locate the victim,” the officer said.
