Sgt. Henderson said Coleman told him she had been ‘assaulted numerous times, including that evening. She said Boyle threatened to kill her numerous times’
OTTAWA — If there were some odd-duck aspects to the 911 call Joshua Boyle made to Ottawa Police or in what he told officers shortly afterwards, they hardly would have identified him immediately as a wife-battering ogre.
Henderson was testifying Tuesday at Boyle’s trial on 19 criminal charges, including one of mischief for misleading police that his wife was missing. Boyle said the tension was rising in part because Coleman’s mother, Lynn, was visiting Ottawa, and “Caitlan was unhappy with the cleanliness of the apartment.”
Lynn Coleman opened the hotel room door and let the police in. Henderson saw Caitlan Coleman sitting on the bed, recognized her from the picture Boyle had texted him at his request. He saw no visible injuries on her face.
