A man accused of murdering a woman and two of her children east of Toronto argued Monday that he was mentally “inanimate” at the time and lacked the criminal intent required to be found guilty in the case.
Cory Fenn has pleaded not guilty to three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Krassimira Pejcinovski, 39, her 13-year-old daughter, Venellia, and her 15-year-old son, Roy.
“This is torture,” he said, before the judge explained that the lawyer was helping Fenn's defence. Fenn lay down in the prisoner box shortly afterward. Fenn told a detective the day after the bodies were discovered he had “cocaine psychosis” and would never hurt Pejcinovski otherwise. “The sole issue before this court is this: is there any evidence of intoxication affecting Mr. Fenn's mindset at the time of the deaths?” Cremer said.
