After an eight-week break, the trial of a man accused in the 2018 murder of an Ottawa volunteer librarian resumed Tuesday, with the accused testifying in his own defence.
Tyler Hikoalok claimed to have no memory of the “vicious” sexual assault and brutal beating death of church librarian Elisabeth Salm on May 24, 2018, as the accused killer moved from the prisoner’s box to the witness stand Tuesday to testify in his own defence.
Lawyers representing Tyler Hikoalok raised questions about the memories of witnesses who described Hikoalok's visit on the day Elisabeth Salm was fatally beaten in 2018.
The physician responsible for The Ottawa Hospital Civic campus intensive care unit on the day Elisabeth Salm was admitted says her case has stayed in his mind.
