The accused in a case of arson that led to the deaths of three people had a toxic relationship with one of the victims, witness tells Sudbury courtroom
Over the last two days in the Sudbury Superior Court trial of Liam Stinson, accused of arson and first-degree murder, the jury has heard from two witnesses: one, Darren McNamara, who faced cross-examination examination April 2, and another, who took the stand April 3.
The ban also covers two other witnesses: one who has yet to testify and one who took the stand March 28. In his first day of testimony, McNamara, 63, told the court that Stinson had a “toxic” and “aggressive” relationship with one of the victims, Jamie-Lynn Rose, and that he witnessed two men leaving Stinson’s home on April 11, 2021, the night of the fatal fire.
“I heard the taller one say, ‘Where’s my stuff?’ His drugs,” clarified McNamara, and testified Stinson’s response was, “Don’t worry, I will pay you.” Wilkinson asked if hearing stories from “the rumour mill” may have colored and changed his remembering of the events, adding details McNamara did not know about the night of the fire.
