Prince George, B.C. – The Crown has completed its final  statements  to the Jury in the  multi murder trial of Cody Alan Legebokoff.

Crown Counsel’s Joseph Temple says it is “inconceivable” that 15 year old Loren Donn Leslie could stab herself in the throat, or that she could have bashed herself in the  head on that night in November of 2010.  Yet that is  how the accused testified Loren Leslie came to suffer the injuries she sustained before he hit her with a pipe wrench because he was “angry about how things had turned out.”.

Temple told the jury the blunt force trauma suffered by murder victims Jill Stuchenko, Cynthia Maas and Loren Leslie had similarities “look at the amount of damage that was done,  the person who did that damage was angry.”

Temple  suggested  the  case  had come full circle, that the  case against Legebokoff started with the accused crafting a story  where he is not responsible for any of the violence, but is involved in cleaning up the mess. Temple was referring to the night Legebokoff was arrested on highway 27, at that time, he first told police he had been out with a friend (Thomas Russell)  who shot a deer  then he and Russell find the wounded animal,  club it with a wrench, and  he slit its throat.  His final testimony  in the case would have Mr. X responsible for killing Jill Stuchenko, and delivering the initial blows to  Cynthia Maas and Natasha Montgomery, then Yor Z would deliver the final  blows (or throat slashing)  and Legebokoff would  be  tasked with disposing of the bodies or the evidence.

Temple called on the jury to carefully consider all of the evidence in the  4 cases, and come to the conclusion that  Cody Alan Legebokoff  committed, planned and deliberated the  murders of Jill Stuchenko, Cynthia Maas, Natasha Montgomery and Loren Leslie,  and that  the murders were committed while sexually assaulting each of  his victims.

The court has adjourned until 10 a.m. Monday September 8th at which time Justice Glen Parrett will begin his  charge to the jury,  outlining the  matters in law they must consider during their deliberations.
