A Crown prosecutor says a man on trial for first-degree murder maintained control over multiple women he lived with through surveillance, drugs and abuse.
Perez Cleveland, 46, has pleaded not guilty in the death of Jennifer Barrett, 42, whose body was found in a barrel behind their Winnipeg home in December 2016.
In the summer of 2016, Cleveland became convinced that Barrett was cheating on him, Passler said. She was locked in the basement and tortured for days before she was killed. She told him she was a nurse at St. Boniface Hospital and that she would be staying in the home with her husband and daughter, Wiebe said.
