TORONTO — The wife of a man accused of killing a Toronto police constable is telling his murder trial she thought the people approaching them that night were trying to break into their car to hurt them.
Aaida Shaikh told jurors hearing Umar Zameer's case that a man and woman initially walked toward their BMW in an underground parking garage shortly after midnight on July 2, 2021, but then rushed over after she signalled that she and her husband didn't want to talk.
Zameer has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Det. Const. Jeffrey Northrup, who died on July 2, 2021 after he was struck by a car while investigating a stabbing in an underground parking garage at Toronto City Hall.The officers were in plain clothes, meaning not in uniform, and went to the garage to look for evidence, court has heard.
On the stand Tuesday, Shaikh -- who at times teared up as she recalled the events of that night -- said the whole thing happened so quickly and it felt like the pair banging on the car were"everywhere."
