Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 09/03/2012 (5146 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Mark Stobbe broke down on the witness stand this morning when he recounted when RCMP told him his wife was killed in backyard of the couple’s St. Andrews home.
“It was confirmation of my worst fears,” he sobbed. “What it meant I was 50 to 60 feet away when she was killed.
“What it meant I should have been able to stop it. I was completely useless in helping her.”
Court resumed about 15 minutes later and Stobbe apologized to the jury for his emotional breakdown.
This is the second day Stobbe is in the witness box testifying in his defence in his wife Beverly Rowbotham’s October 2000 death.
Stobbe has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder.
He’s testified he fell asleep watching a baseball game while his wife made a shopping trip to Safeway in Selkirk, the second trip she made that day.
Police allege Stobbe killed his wife with a hatchet or ax and put her body in the backseat of the family car, driving it to and abandoning it in Selkirk to ride back to the house on a bicycle.
