The seven-man, seven woman jury overseeing the first-degree murder trial of Dalhousie medical student William Sandeson will continue to hear evidence Wednesday.

Sandeson, 24, is charged in connection with the killing of fellow Dalhousie student Taylor Samson, 22.

Samson went missing in August 2015. His body has never been located.

Tuesday, the jury heard from Samson’s girlfriend, Mackenzie Ruthven, who was one of the last people to see him alive.

The jury also started to watch a police interrogation video taken following Sandeson’s arrest. After initially denying knowing anything about Samson’s disappearance, Sandeson then changed his story and told police that while Samson was at his Henry Street apartment, several people broke in and may have taken him.

That’s where the police interrogation video stopped and court ended for the day. Testimony will resume Wednesday morning.
