Felicity Altiman, 43, is on trial at the Sudbury Courthouse in the stabbing death of Robert 'Bob' Keskinen, who was 75 when his body was found.
Altiman has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder charge.
In her opening statement, assistant Crown Attorney Brittany Butler told the jury they would be presenting witnesses and evidence showing that Keskinen was stabbed about 103 times, either late on Dec. 24 or early Dec. 25, 2020.
Butler said witness testimony, video footage, DNA and fingerprints would link Altiman to the homicide. She also said that on the night of the murder, Altiman had been staying in someone else's apartment in the Kathleen Street building.
Butler "apologized in advance" to the jury for the graphic testimony they would hear and the gruesome images they would view during the course of the trial.
