CRANBROOK, B.C. — A former RCMP officer told a court in Cranbrook, B.C., that she overheard the woman accused of pushing her husband to kill himself call the man a coward and offer to get him a gun.

Terri Reimer is accused in provincial court of counselling her husband Bill Reimer to commit suicide as well as administering a noxious substance with the intent to endanger.

Rhonda Reimer, who was with the RCMP for three decades, is the sister-in-law of Bill Reimer and told the trial she was on the phone with him for hours on the night of March 22.

She testified that the man was distraught and crying while she overheard he and his wife swearing at each other.
