Jurors are expected to hear today from the roommate of Dellen Millard, one of the two men accused of murder in the death of Hamilton's Tim Bosma.
Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., are on trial in Ontario Superior Court accused of killing Bosma, 32, who lived in the suburban Ancaster area of Hamilton. Both have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
Bosma failed to return after taking two men on a test drive of a pickup truck he was trying to sell. He left his home around 9 p.m. on May 6, 2013, and was never seen alive again.
On Tuesday, jurors heard testimony from one of two women Crown prosecutors say were in a relationship with Millard around the time Bosma disappeared. Lisa Whidden, a Toronto real estate agent, testified about text messages she exchanged with the accused.
While Whidden described her relationship with Millard as "intimate," the text message exchanges shown to the jury were not. Most messaages centred on a condo deal Millard was attempting to broker back in 2013 — and one text message sent just before he was arrested, claiming someone "set him up."
Whidden told the court that she and Millard met in 2012 when she was "cold calling real estate ads." She said their relationship progressed, but ended when he was arrested in 2013.
