Opening arguments to start in Laura Babcock murder trial
Dellen Millard (32) and Mark Smich (30), who have been accused of committing the murder, pleaded not guilty.
While Millard is from Toronto, Smich is a Oakville man.
Jutice Michael Code told the other jurors that the Crown had accused Millard and Smich of committing the first-degree murder, the media report said.
Code said that the accused people had burnt Babcock's body in an incinerator, which was later found in Millard's farm house.
He even told the jurors that the incinerator was bought before the murder of Babcock, whose body disappeared after that.
Both the accused were charged in 2014, two years since Babcock's disappearance.
Babcock was 23-year old when she was murdered in 2012 presumably.
