Testimony will continue Tuesday at the trial of Douglas Garland, accused of three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of a couple and their five-year-old grandson.
Monday, some jurors became upset when they were shown aerial photos of three bodies on the ground near a burning barrel at Garland’s home in southern Alberta.
The bodies of the two adults appeared naked except for some white material, which the Crown indicated in its opening statement were adult diapers.
The body of the child was much less clear because of its size.
The Crown contends Garland killed Alvin and Kathy Liknes over a petty grudge he had involving a business dealing, and the little boy just happened to be staying with his grandparents that night.
