A blood stain analyst testified Tuesday that Jon Styres was within a metre-and-a-half of Peter Khill’s truck and was facing in toward the vehicle when Khill shot him twice with a shotgun over six years ago. But he faced tough questions from Khill's defence lawyer, who tried to undermine the expert.
Where were Peter Khill and Jon Styres standing and what position were both men in when Khill fired two fatal shots at Styres in almost pitch-black conditions? A forensic pathologist testified Thursday offering a 'likely scenario' for one of the gunshots.
Moments after hearing a 'bone-chilling' blast from a shotgun and seeing sparks fly in front of her home, Melinda Khill testified Wednesday she called 911 on a February night in 2016. Jurors heard the 16-minute call, which showed what Peter Khill and his now-wife Melinda said after Jon Styres was shot dead that night.
The officer who arrested Peter Khill testified Tuesday at the Hamilton man's murder trial that Khill seemed to offer an explanation about why he used a shotgun to blow a hole into Jon Styres's chest because Khill was a soldier following his training, and felt he needed to defend himself against the Six Nations of the Grand River man.
