It had been nine days since his last confession.

Adrian Daou, a 24-year-old Vanier rapper desperate to get out of Innes Road jail’s segregation unit, wanted another trip to Ottawa police headquarters where detectives gave him pizza and coffee days earlier when he told them he had killed Jennifer Stewart in a darkened parking lot on Aug. 19, 2010.

His first confession in February 2013 led to a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of Stewart, a 36-year-0ld Vanier sex trade worker. But on March 6, 2013, detectives weren’t buying his second confession.

Adrian Daou, charged with first-degree murder in the 2010 death of Jennifer Stewart, at a 2013 court appearance.


“It’s the truth,” he told detectives when pressed him. But he got the weapon and other key details wrong — and detectives had already solved that case.

In an audio-taped statement to police at the jail — played for the jury at his first-degree murder trial on Tuesday — Daou explained that he didn’t mention the second killing when he confessed to the Stewart homicide because “I didn’t want to get into too much trouble.”

“I gotta say, I don’t believe you at all,” Det. Francin Taillefer told him.

Daou’s prosecution in the Stewart homicide is built on his confession that he killed the sex-trade worker, during which he asked if a friend could collect the $50,000 reward in the case if they “ratted me out.”

Daou, who has pleaded not guilty, told police that he hatched the murder plot to launch his hip hop career and that he lured Stewart to a parking lot on Alice Street before midnight under the pretext of a bogus drug deal.
