Crown says Ontario man accused in triple murder case killed out of revenge
OTTAWA — A man who killed three women during a murderous rampage in the Ottawa Valley two years ago was motivated by revenge, a prosecutor alleged Wednesday as he laid out the Crown’s case against Basil Borutski.
Borutski, 59, is charged with three counts of first degree murder in the September 2015 deaths of Carol Culleton, Anastasia Kuzyk, and Nathalie Warmerdam.
Borutski had relationships with all three women, and had been charged and convicted of offences against Kuzyk in 2014 and against Warmerdam and her son in 2012.
The final jurors were selected in the case Wednesday before Crown attorney Jeffery Richardson delivered his opening statement to the six-man, six-woman jury in an Ottawa courtroom.
