In closing arguments, the Crown said a Saskatchewan Mountie brought his lover to a secluded area to kill him, but his lawyers said he shot the man in self-defence.
Veteran RCMP officer Bernie Herman, 55, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Braden Herman in May of 2021.
The two are not related.
Braden’s naked body was found in an isolated area near Prince Albert’s Little Red River Park.
Earlier in the trial Herman testified he had a sexual relationship with Braden.
Crown prosecutor Jennifer Schmidt said on the day of the alleged incident, Herman called Braden 59 times and then picked him up and drove to the isolated area.
