Trial evidence: woman drove killers

The two “did not get along after that dispute” according to the agreed statement of facts at Natewayes’ trial.

Moving ahead to Sept. 15, 2012, Vandale saw Natewayes in the parking lot of the South Hill Mall’s Shoppers Drug Mart that night after 10 p.m., the statement of facts read, and told her he would be waiting for Goodrich to leave.

The statement of facts say Natewayes then went into the drug store, told Goodrich this, and “that there were a bunch of people in the car and she did not know who the people were.”

Goodrich contacted a friend by text message asking for help but by the time they left the drug store Vandale had already departed, convinced by his girlfriend not to fight with Goodrich, the statement reads.

Natewayes’ role in driving people who were trying to track down Vandale started there.

She drove five men and a youth to Vandale’s home in Prince Albert’s West Flat.

The five males forced their way inside the home, with Natewayes staying in her car, and came back out a few minutes later, the statement says.

In addition to the bat, there was pepper spray that Natewayes made the passengers throw out, but the statement does not mention a knife.

Nayneecassum later died in hospital, and Vandale was cut on the neck and arm.

Video of police interviews concludes

Multiple hours of many police interviews with Natewayes were viewed in court throughout the week.

In the video, one officer told her “I can honestly say I’m extremely impressed” with the information she shared.

The videos show that at first Natewayes was not cooperative with police questions but eventually shared details. The officer noted that, saying he understood she would do that out of fear.

Saying it was a case of “wrong place, wrong time,” the videos delve into further questioning on drug involvement in the assault and whether Natewayes was involved in any way with Goodrich’s drug dealing.

Goodrich was previously handed a sentence of 12 years in relation to that night.
