Court hears tapes after police bugged apartment in Tina Fontaine murder case
WINNIPEG — A man accused of murdering an Indigenous teenager in Winnipeg was recorded by police saying he’d bet the girl was killed because he found out she was only 15 years old.
“I drew the line and that’s why she got killed,” Raymond Cormier said in tapes played in court Wednesday.
Cormier, 55, is on trial for second-degree murder in the death of Tina Fontaine, whose body was found wrapped in a duvet filled with rocks in the Red River in August 2014.
Experts have testified that they don’t know how Fontaine died. And no DNA has been found linking Cormier to the killing.
