Officer tells of finding body at trial for Oak Bay dad accused of killing daughters
VANCOUVER — A police officer choked up Tuesday as he recalled finding the body of a little girl, her blonde hair matted with blood, inside a “chaotic” Vancouver Island apartment on Christmas Day in 2017.
Const. Piotr Ulanowski testified at the start of the trial for Andrew Berry, who has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder of his daughters Chloe Berry, 6, and Aubrey Berry, 4.
Ulanowski told a British Columbia Supreme Court jury that he was the first officer to enter Berry’s apartment, which was strewn with clothing and had blood smeared on the walls.
After he discovered the girl’s body on a bed, he left the suite and called for backup, he said.
