The crisis negotiator who had been at a Manitoba jail the day an hours-long standoff with an inmate came to a violent end testified he had never seen anything like it before.
The crisis negotiator who tried to de-escalate William Ahmo testified he heard the Headingley Correctional Centre inmate say he believed he was at war before he became unconscious and was sent to hospital, where he later died.
Footage of William Ahmo's final hours inside a Manitoba jail was shown in a courtroom Friday, during the start of a trial for a correctional officer facing charges in the man's death.
