‘My hands were on her neck,’ Garnier says during police interview
HALIFAX — Christopher Garnier told police he put his hands on Catherine Campbell’s neck and removed them after hearing gasps before the off-duty police officer died, his murder trial has heard.
Garnier told investigators during an interview hours after his arrest that he put pressure on her throat.
“My hands were on her neck,” Garnier said, adding that he could not recall for how long.
The jury finished watching the 9.5-hour-long interview Thursday at Garnier’s murder trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court. It also heard that Garnier wrote an apologetic letter to Campbell’s loved ones during the interrogation.
