Prince George, B.C. – Crown Counsel  is  working hard to  strip  accused serial killer of any  credibility.

Crown has taken Legebokoff  through  numerous statements made to investigators,  statements Legebokoff now  admits were not true.

He told investigators  he and Loren Leslie had not had sex ,but in his testimony yesterday  told the court  he and Loren had had sex twice on the night she died.

He told investigators  he had  found her body in a “big f’n  pool  of blood” but  in his testimony yesterday said she  dropped out of site  in front of his truck,  a spot  where   there was no evidence of blood.

The  matter of  Legebokoff’s credibility follows his testimony yesterday that three mystery men he would only name as  X Y and Z were responsible for the murders of  Jill Stuchenko, Cynthia Maas and Natasha Montgomery.  He has refused  to  identify the three men,  a decision which has resulted in  Justice lenn Parrett citing Legebokoff with criminal contempt of court.  Justice Parrett says  he will deal with the  matter  after the murder trial has concluded.

Crown Counsel’s Joseph Temple noted that the story  about the three men was similar to that initially told to investigators when Legebokoff was pulled over on highway 27  .  At that time, Legebokoff said he had been hunting with a friend,  that the friend  shot a deer,  that he had clubbed the animal to death and slit its throat and that his  friend took the carcass and  drove away.

In the case of the murder of  Jill  Stuchenko,  Legebokoff has testified it was Mr. X who  killed her, and X and Y  took away the body,  he simply provided the murder weapon and disposed of  her  personal items.  In the case of the  murder of Cynthia Maas,  Mr. X delivered the first blow,   and  Mr. Y  would “finish her off” with the picaroon Legebokoff had supplied.  In the Natasha Montgomery murder,  again, it was Mr. X who  delivered the first blow,  and Mr. Z  slit her throat with a knife Legebokoff provided. All three of those killings happened in Legebokoff’s apartment.
