Bagabuyo murder trial continues with meticulous detailing of items seized during initial police investigation
VANCOUVER — A lengthy first-degree murder trial for a former Kamloops lawyer accused of killing his client resumed this week out of Vancouver Criminal Law Courts.
Rogelio ‘Butch’ Bagabuyo is charged in the March 2022 homicide of former Thompson Rivers University lecturer Mohd Abdullah.
It’s alleged the two men conspired to hide more than $700,000 of Abdullah’s money from his ex-wife, with Crown lawyers claiming evidence from a forensic accountant in upcoming trial proceedings will show Bagabuyo spent the money himself.
