Daniel Keefe is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Aiden Cunningham. The Crown argues Keefe stabbed Cunningham during a fight, while the defence claims it was self-defense.
THUNDER BAY — A jury will decide if Daniel Keefe acted in self-defence when he fatally stabbed Aiden Cunningham more than two years ago.
A jury trial began on Tuesday at the Thunder Bay Courthouse with opening statements from both the Crown and defence. As Cunningham and another male were getting ready to leave the home, a fight broke out between Cunningham and Keefe.Keefe had a kitchen knife in his pocket and stabbed Cunningham in the chest twice, with one of the blows striking Cunningham’s heart.McNaughton said there are circumstances where an individual can use deadly force, but was this use of force valid, he asked the jury in his opening remarks.
Joseph asked the jury to pay close attention to the 911 call made by Keefe and witness testimony and then ask themselves one question: “if this isn’t self-defence, what is?”
