The oft-delayed trial of David Thomas may begin Tuesday.
Thomas, 52, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Denise Bourdeau.
Bourdeau’s remains were found in the Grand River in 2007, months after she was seen leaving a New Year’s party – the last time anyone reported seeing her alive.
Thomas, with whom she was in a common law relationship, was charged in 2011.
In 2014, a judge and jury began to hear the murder trial – only for the jurors to be dismissed after legal arguments about the admissibility of evidence.
Jury selection for the new trial, which is expected to hear from approximately 30 witnesses, took place last week.
The case made its way to a Kitchener courtroom Monday, but specifics of what was discussed are covered by a publication ban.
