WINNIPEG – It was day two of testimony from Corey Tymchyshyn today, one of the men accused in the 2008 drug-related murder of Chad Davis.
The Crown says he and co-accused Kris Brincheski lured Davis to a garage and killed him before putting his body in a barrel and dumping it in a river.

But Tymchyshyn testified it was Brincheski who killed Davis in self-defense, telling the court he wasn’t even there when it happened. He alleged that Davis attacked Brincheski while brandishing a gun, even pistol whipping him, before Brincheski was able to get a hold of a hammer and hit him with it causing his death.
Tymchyshyn admitted to attempting to conceal the crime by putting Davis’ body in a barrel and dumping it in a river.
