PRINCE ALBERT, Sask – The father of a Vancouver Canuck and his lover have pleaded not guilty to charges that they plotted to murder their spouses in Saskatchewan.
The trial has started for Curtis Vey, the father of Canucks forward Linden Vey, and Angela Nicholson, who each face two charges of conspiracy to commit murder.
Crown prosecutor Lori O’Connor said in her opening address that in July 2013, Vey’s wife, Brigette, hid her iPod under the kitchen table and set it to record when she went to work.
O’Connor told the jury that the recording confirmed Brigette Vey’s fears of an affair and also revealed the alleged murder plot.
The prosecutor said the jury will hear that the plan was to kill Brigette Vey in a house fire and Nicholson’s husband by overdose.
The trial is expected to last two weeks in Court of Queen’s Bench in Prince Albert, Sask.
