Expert tells Winnipeg murder trial cause of Tina Fontaine’s death not determined
WINNIPEG — A forensic pathologist has told a Winnipeg murder trial that he could not determine what killed a 15-year-old girl whose body was found in the Red River.
Raymond Cormier has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the 2014 death of Tina Fontaine.
The Crown has told court Cormier killed the girl because he had developed a sexual interest in her and found out she was underage.
Fontaine was killed in August 2014 after she ran away from a hotel where she was being housed by Manitoba Child and Family Services.
