Sheree Fertuck wanted a divorce from man now accused of killing her, family lawyer says
CBC
Sheree Fertuck tried to legally end her relationship with her estranged husband, but the separation was never finalized, court heard on Tuesday, the sixth day of Greg Fertuck's first-degree murder trial.
Instead, the two spent years fighting about property division and money, Sheree Fertuck's lawyer, Tammi Hackl, testified.
"She wanted a divorce," said Hackl, a lawyer specializing in family law.
But Sheree had demands she wanted met before they split. Her biggest concerns centred around the family home, about one-third of Greg's pension, child support, and what she believed to be a fair division of assets — not a 50-50 split, Hackl testified.
Greg Fertuck is on trial Saskatoon's Court of Queen's Bench, accused of killing Sheree on Dec. 7, 2015 — the last day she was seen alive. The 51-year-old woman's body has never been found.
He has pleaded not guilty.
The Crown's case relies on a complicated undercover police operation, known as a "Mr. Big" sting. Court has heard the months-long sting elicited a confession from Greg, who told undercover officers that he shot Sheree twice at the gravel pit where she worked.
