It’s ‘unlikely’ Wayne Millard shot himself, police expert testifies
TORONTO — After re-enacting the fatal shooting of an aviation executive 20 times using mannequin heads, police forensic experts concluded it was unlikely the man shot himself in the face, as authorities initially believed, a murder trial heard Thursday.
Wayne Millard, 71, was found dead in his bedroom with a single gunshot wound to the head on Nov. 29, 2012.
Det. Const. Grant Sutherland testified that gunshot residue was found on Millard’s face and the back of his right hand which was tucked under his head, but not on the left hand, which was close to the gun found beside his bed.
Sutherland said there should have been gunshot residue on Wayne Millard’s left hand if he used it to pull the trigger.
