An Ottawa woman accused of conspiring with her alleged lover to kill his wife so they could be together began to testify at their murder trial Tuesday.

Gurpreet Ronald, 37, began testimony in her own defence on Tuesday afternoon, telling one of her lawyers, Michael Smith, that she told her father when she was young she didn't want an arranged marriage.

Ronald knew that went against her Sikh culture but testified that "it wasn't for me and I was going to pick my husband for myself."

Ronald and Bhupinderpal Gill, 41, are both on trial for first-degree murder in the death of Gill's wife, Jagtar Gill, who was found stabbed and bludgeoned to death in the Gill's Barrhaven home on Jan. 29, 2014.

The Crown alleges the two OC Transpo drivers and neighbours were having an affair and conspired to kill Gill's wife, with Gill taking his children out and leaving his wife alone so that Ronald could enter the house while Jagtar Gill was vulnerable and recovering from a recent surgery.

The pair are being tried together but have separate defence teams. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Ronald's lawyer, Jessica Abou-Eid, told Ontario Superior Justice Julianne Parfett and the 12-person jury in the opening statement of her defence that Ronald's testimony would explain why she didn't provide "the full details of where she was and what she knew," including where she was when Jagtar Gill was killed.

Defence to call witness to alibi

Abou-Eid said she would also be calling Ronald's sister's mother-in-law, who Abou-Eid said would corroborate Ronald's alibi that she was at her sister's house at the time Gill would have been killed.

Abou-Eid said the jury would also hear how Ronald's blood came to be at the Gill home, how it became co-mingled with the victim's blood on the fingertip of a latex glove left at the scene and why she took the glove and a knife at the scene and discarded them.

Court previously heard that blood matching Ronald's DNA was found on the rug next to Jagtar Gill's body, in the kitchen, the upstairs hallway and upstairs bathroom in the Gill home.

Ronald on trial for being mistress, lawyer says
In her opening statement, Abou-Eid said Ronald was in an affair with Gill and that she is not on trial for killing Jagtar Gill, but for being Bhupinderpal Gill's mistress.

"She knew she was the mistress and she genuinely believed the finger would be pointed at her, and here we are," said Abou-Eid.

Bhupinderpal Gill had first told police he and Ronald were just friends but later admitted to the affair, and testified in his own defence that he broke it off in the fall of 2013.

He repeatedly told the court he had nothing to do with his wife's death and suggested to Crown lawyers cross-examining him that they ask Ronald what happened, since her blood was found at the scene.

Ronald is expected to continue her testimony Wednesday.

昨天这法庭上还编出个和亲属喝茶的alibi，今天就全没用了，按照她的说法，反正她是第一个而且是单独发现尸体的，还又动刀，又戴手套的楼上楼下一阵忙活，就是忘了最要紧的拔911的事，倒还没忘了跑去商店找绯闻男友。
'I was freaking out': Accused in Jagtar Gill murder trial says she found victim's body
Gurpreet Ronald says she didn't call 911 because she was afraid she would be blamed
By Laurie Fagan, Paul Cote Jay, CBC News Posted: Jul 06, 2016 4:21 PM ET Last Updated: Jul 06, 2016 6:14 PM ET

The woman accused of killing Jagtar Gill told an Ottawa courtroom she found Gill's lifeless body before Gill's husband and daughter returned home, but panicked because she believed she would be blamed for the death.

Gurpreet Ronald, 37, and Bhupinderpal Gill, 41, are each facing a first-degree murder charge in the death of Gill's wife, 43-year-old Jagtar Gill.

Jagtar Gill's stabbed and beaten body was found by her husband and one of her daughters in her home in the Ottawa neighbourhood of Barrhaven on Jan. 29, 2014.

The Crown alleges the co-accused were in a long-standing affair and had conspired to kill Jagtar Gill so they could be together.

Court had previously heard that blood matching Ronald's DNA was found on the rug next to Jagtar Gill's body, in the kitchen, the upstairs hallway and upstairs bathroom in the Gill home.

Court had also heard that Ronald's DNA was found on the fingertip of a latex glove left at the scene.

'I realized I touched the knife'
But testifying for a second day in her own defence on Wednesday, Ronald told Ontario Superior Justice Julianne Parfett and the 12-person jury her blood was found at the home because she had actually discovered the body before the Gills.

Ronald said she went the Gill home in the morning to get some tools when she saw the door was unlocked and inside Jagtar Gill was lying on her back on the floor.

"I saw her body I was shocked," she told a hushed and packed courtroom. "As I came close I saw her neck cut — it was wide open."

"I was freaking out. I might have yelled and screamed. I was running out of breath, I felt I was going to faint," she said.

Ronald said she felt something under her foot and saw that it was a knife. She said she picked it up and then threw it back when she saw blood on her hand.


"I was nervous and scared and realized I touched the knife," testified Ronald.

She said she noticed a box of gloves on the dining room table, put them on and went back to wipe the knife off because her prints were on it.


"I grabbed the knife and I was shaking and wiping at the same time and nicked my finger," she told the court.

At one point she said she went upstairs to look for bandages.

'The finger is pointed at me'
Before leaving the home she realized her blood was on the knife so she went back to Gill's body — and took the knife and the box of gloves, which had a bloody hand print on it.

"You didn't call 911," her lawyer said. "Why not?"

"From where I was standing I would be blamed for it — it comes to me — the finger is pointed at me that's why I didn't make the call," she said.

On Tuesday, Ronald said she had an alibi at the time of the murder. She said she was at her sister's house having tea with her sister's mother in law.

Ronald said she then went to Sobey's to meet Gill and tell him what was happening, but said she was unsure how to approach him.

"That's his wife I just saw and I had so many questions: what just happened? What's going on? Does he know what's happening?"

She said she confronted him, asking him "do you know what the f--k is going on at your house? It's really bad."

"He wasn't listening to me," she said. "I was trying to figure out does he know or not know? I asked him 'where were you?' I was trying to read him," she said.

Ronald said after her meeting with Gill she went to a trail and discarded the knife and gloves, shoving them in the snow.

Ronald denies testimony of clairvoyant
Earlier on Wednesday, Ronald denied ever telling her friend Susanne Shields that she would do "anything" to be with her lover.

Shields, a federal bureaucrat who has side businesses as a feng shui practitioner, a life coach and a clairvoyant, had testified earlier in the trial that Ronald and Gill approached her in April 2012 for counselling.

Shields said Ronald told her the two would do "anything" to be together, and that Gill, whom Shields described as "a man of few words," nodded in agreement.

But Ronald told her lawyer Michael Smith that conversation never happened.

Ronald says Gill affair began in 2009
Shields had also testified that Ronald referred to Jagtar Gill as an "evil woman" and "a devil," which Ronald denied ever saying.

Instead, Ronald recounted two occasions on which Shields claimed to be able to talk to Ronald's dead mother, including the April 2012 meeting.

Ronald said during that session Shields first told her she and her husband, Jason Ronald, had 68 past lives together, before changing the number to 55.

When Ronald questioned the change, she said Shields replied, "Don't challenge me — the energy gets angry. Look what you did, your mother just left."

Earlier Ronald also testified that she and Gill started their affair in late 2009 after her marriage started falling apart.

She said it started as an emotional connection that led to intimacy. Ronald said she felt awkward around Jagtar at first "because what I was engaging in was wrong."

最后的结果，是认定二人有罪吧？

I believe both of them were convicted as guilty for first-degree murder by jury two days ago, which means life sentence without parole for 25 years.

最后的结果，是认定二人有罪吧？

这个案子警察办的挺漂亮。假装上门推销的，让女犯签了个合同，得到她的唾液DNA。在死者家里取走了真的凶器后，又放置了一个替代品，上面抹上羊血，并放置了摄像头，监控到男犯把铁棒藏到地下室圣诞树盒子里，后来又扔到NCC小路上。警察找到这两人分别丢弃的铁棒和刀，对媒体放出假新闻，没有提到和此案的关联，希望民众提供线索，以观察这两人的反应。
最后判决时，法官给陪审团的说明是，对这两人的一级谋杀指控只有yes or no，没有其他选择。

警察还在女的windshield上放了“killer”的字条，希望刺激男、女嫌犯再次通话，警方可以从监听获得新证据。

但是，女的把字条的事儿报告了OC transpo的保安。。。
