Medical student’s murder trial: Witness describes loud bang, bloody man
HALIFAX — An eyewitness said he heard a loud bang, and saw a bloody man sitting on a chair in the Halifax apartment of a medical student on trial for murder.
Pookiel McCabe told a Nova Scotia Supreme Court jury Monday that he was William Sandeson’s close friend and neighbour on Aug. 15, 2015, the night Sandeson allegedly killed 22-year-old Taylor Samson.
He and a friend had been drinking in McCabe’s apartment across the hall from Sandeson’s. They were all friends and he and Sandeson had been track-and-field teammates at Dalhousie University.
“We heard, like, a bang,” McCabe told the jury.
