Trial for Melfort murder conspiracy begins in P.A.

May 24, 2016 | 6:35 AM

The trial for two alleged lovers accused of planning to kill each other’s spouses is set to begin in Prince Albert’s Court of Queen’s Bench.

Curtis Vey of Wakaw and Angela Nicholson of Melfort were charged with conspiracy to commit murder on July 9 after an investigation by RCMP.

Police told Nicholson’s husband they had been tipped-off about a plot, which involved him dying of an overdose on Halloween 2013, and Vey’s wife dying in a house fire.

RCMP confirmed the case was connected to an extramarital affair.

Vey and Nicholson were jointly charged with conspiracy to commit murder, meaning they cannot be compelled to testify against each other.

Nicholson’s defense council Ron Piche previously told paNOW he believed the Crown would rely on three separate recordings to prove their case.

Questions expected to be answered during the trail include what’s on the recordings, who tipped off the police, were Vey and Nicholson having an affair, and how their alleged love affair precipitated into a murder conspiracy.

The trial begins at Prince Albert’s Court of Queen’s Bench Tuesday, May 24.
