Constable Returns to the Stand

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 @ 3:59 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The trial of Cody Alan Legebokoff resumes this morning at 9:30 with RCMP Constable Aaron Kehler returning to the stand.

Constable Kehler is the one who pulled over Cody Legebokoff  on Highway 27  on November 27, 2010, on the hunch that “something was odd”.

Kehler will be under cross-examination today, having already testified that  he first thought he was dealing with an offence under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act,  then he thought the investigation was one of a violation of the Wildlife Act as he  believed he was dealing with a possible case of poaching.

The change  came  as he spotted what appeared to be  droplets of blood on Legebokoff’s thighs, legs and shoes,  a red watery puddle  in the  driver’s side floor mat,  snow and blood on a pipe wrench, and the discovery of a leatherman style multi tool which Cst Kehler  says was covered in “gelled blood.”

 But there was also the discovery of a  young woman’s  back pack, wallet and  health care card,  so it was possible there was something else going on.

A Conservation Officer was called to assist,   was sent  down the  logging road which  Cst Kehler says he spotted Legebokoff’s  vehicle , and  he radioed back that  his discovery was “The worst case scenario.”

Cst.Kehler says that’s when Legebokoff was  handcuffed and  advised he was under arrest for murder.
