Friend and employee of accused killer Dellen Millard returns to witness box
The Tim Bosma trial resumes Monday in Hamilton with more testimony from Shane Schlatman, the last employee on the books at MillardAir, the company owned by Dellen Millard, one of two men accused of murder in the death of Bosma.
Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., are on trial in Ontario Superior Court accused of killing Bosma. Both have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.

On Thursday, the jury heard that Millard and Schlatman had a nickname for the livestock incinerator in which human bones were found on his farm in Ayr, Ont. — The BBQ.
The jury saw text messages between the MillardAir owner and his employee describing the incinerator as "The BBQ" Thursday. Court has already heard that a DNA examination of blood found on the incinerator showed an astronomically low likelihood that it came from anyone but Bosma.
Monday will be the third time Schlatman has been in the witness box, as there have been legal arguments around his testimony.
