SASKATOON – Closing arguments are expected to be heard Thursday in a second-degree murder trial in Saskatoon. The Crown and defence rested their case Wednesday in the trial of Abraham Eagle, who is accused of killing Kelly Diehl in 2013.
The trial was halted for a short time yesterday when a defence witness failed to show up in court. She was located later in the day and testified.

Diehl, 29, was found beaten the evening of Aug. 29 in the back alley of the 500-block of 5th Avenue North. He was declared dead a short time later.
During the trial, eyewitnesses testified seeing Diehl being beaten. A forensic pathologist confirmed Diehl died as a result of a stab wound to the chest which led to excessive bleeding.
Eagle has pleaded not guilty.
