Blood spatter expert testifies he found blood on gun seized from Sandeson’s safe
HALIFAX — A blood expert testifying at the murder trial of a Halifax university student says he spotted 44 spatter stains on a gun recovered from the man’s apartment in 2015.
Sgt. Adrian Butler said in Supreme Court on Thursday that he reviewed photos of a 9-mm Smith and Wesson handgun police seized from a safe inside William Sandeson’s bedroom.
Sandeson is charged with the first-degree murder of 22-year-old Dalhousie University student Taylor Samson, whose body has never been found.
Court has heard that Samson was last seen alive on video, walking into Sandeson’s apartment shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 15, 2015.
