Trial begins for woman accused of murdering daughter in Saskatoon
The trial of 53-year-old Frances Rose Sugar got underway Monday in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench.
Frances is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her daughter Lindey Sugar, who was 34 years old when she died on June 23, 2014.
Court heard testimony from a couple who said they came upon Lindey as she lay dying in a ditch near the base of their driveway.
Diane and Norbert Cyca both testified they were heading out to walk their dogs after supper on June 23, 2014, when they heard shouting coming from behind some trees at the edge of their property, an acreage a few kilometres south of Saskatoon near the intersection of Clarence Avenue South and Victor Road.
