VANCOUVER — A jury is expected to begin deliberations this morning ( Tues, Jan 15) to decide whether a man who confessed to killing a 12-year-old girl in 1978 is guilty of the crime.
B-C Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen completed his instructions to the jury Monday night in the trial of Garry Handlen, who confessed to the 1978 murder during a police undercover operation.
Cullen said a jury foreman would be selected this morning before deliberations begin.
Monica Jack was last seen in Merritt while riding her bike and her remains were discovered in the area 17 years later.
