CALGARY – The cross-examination of Kristopher Guenther, charged with first-degree murder in the death of his ex-fiancée, wrapped up in a Calgary court Thursday.
Lacey Jones-McKnight was killed Oct. 25, 2012, after what Guenther described as an argument over infidelity.
The Crown alleges Guenther repeatedly choked Jones-McKnight before putting her body in his car.
Guenther testified he never meant to kill her and was only trying to restrain her during a fight.
