[projekktor id=’23212′]

Today a Hamilton courtroom saw a photo police took while they were trailing Mark Smich in May of 2013, shortly before he was arrested for the murder of Tim Bosma. Smich was arrested almost two weeks after his co-accused, Dellen Millard.

Mark Smich lived at his mothers house in Oakville, just north of the QEW off Dorval drive. His girlfriend Marlena Meneses also lived in Oakville, in an apartment building on Speers road and those are the two addresses the couple were at most days as they were trailed by a Hamilton police surveillance unit. Marlena Meneses is expected to testify during this trial. Police snapped the picture of the two after they started following Smich on May 14, four days after arresting Dellen Millard.

On May 22nd on orders, the surveillance team grabbed Smich as he was walking his bike up Dorval drive on the median near the QEW. He was thrown to the ground and arrested for murder. The officer testified Smich then yelled several times to Meneses, who was also under arrest, “don’t tell them anything, babe.”

Court also heard more about operations at Dellen Millard’s hangar at the Waterloo airport. Millard took over the aviation business when his father died and got rid of all fourteen employees but one who was known as a mechanic at the local autoparts store. He spoke to an employee there daily and in the days after Tim Bosma’s disappearance, ordered a tool for removing windshields and a tool for sanding metal.

Court heard from its bookkeeper, that in its final years Millard air only had expenses, no income. The bookkeeper for Millard air is still on the stand, she worked for Dellen Millard’s father until he died and then for his son. Her husband was the Millard air IT and security technician he is also expected to testify.
