An exhibit from the second-degree murder trial of Nicholas Butcher, who is accused of killing popular Halifax yoga teacher Kristin Johnston, shows blood stains on Johnston’s front porch.
The 32-year-old, originally from Montreal, was found dead inside her home at 17 Oceanview Dr. in Purcell’s Cove on March 26, 2016.
Butcher, 35, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently on trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
The Crown alleges Johnston wanted to break up with Butcher, so he killed her and then tried to take his own life by cutting off one of his hands.
Jordan Masters, a 911 dispatcher, gave evidence Tuesday that he received a call from Butcher the morning Johnston died. Masters told the court that Butcher was breathing heavily and apologizing for killing his girlfriend.
