WINNIPEG – The girlfriend of a Manitoba man killed during an alleged botched robbery has shared details about the last time she saw him alive.
Cristin Wise testified she was with Clifford Joseph at their shared home in a rural area northeast of Winnipeg, on June 6, 2021, when he mentioned he was going to a neighbour’s home.
Wise said Joseph told her he was planning on taking a trailer winch from the property.
Eric Wildman has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Joseph, whose body was found in July 2021.
A Crown attorney has told jurors they will hear evidence during the trial suggesting Wildman ran over and shot Joseph three times.
Wise told court she went looking for Joseph after he didn’t return home and later found his truck abandoned on a nearby property.
