‘He was hearing from Monica:’ Accused told aunt his dead sister was texting him
RED DEER, Alta. — A central Alberta man accused of killing his family told an aunt his dead sister was communicating with him about how she and her parents died.
Jason Klaus and Joshua Frank are each charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Gordon, Sandra and Monica Klaus four years ago.
Klaus’s aunt, Wendy Berry, testified at his trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench that he told her his sister’s spirit was sending him electronic messages with details about the family’s murder.
Court has already been told that their farmhouse near Castor, Alta., was engulfed in flames by the time fire crews arrived on Dec. 8, 2013.
