The first-degree murder trial of Boris Panovski, 73, got underway Monday.
Panovski is charged with the fatal shooting of Don Frigo and his wife, Eva, in September of 2014 at the Hullet Conservation Area near Clinton.
The trial started with the opening statement from Crown Attorney Teresa Donnelly.
Donnelly described the ill feelings between Pavnoski and Frigo stemming, in part, over a dog that Pavnoski had sold Frigo.
Pavnoski allegedly felt he wasn't given the credit he deserved for the success of the dog. Donnelly then went on to describe the series of events that allegedly took place on the evening of September 13.
She stated a man drove up to a group of people who had been training bird dogs, got out of the car, shot Frigo, then shot his wife, got back into the car, stopped by the wounded Frigo and fired the shot that killed him while he was on the ground.
Two days later Panovski was on a plane to Macedonia, but he returned to Canada a few days later and was arrested on the plane at Pearson International Airport.
The trial is scheduled to last up to ten weeks.
