Closing arguments are expected to begin today in the Dennis Oland second-degree murder re-trial.
He is charged with the murder of his father, Richard Oland, in July 2011.
Richard Oland’s bludgeoned body was found in his upstairs office at 52 Canterbury Street on the morning of July 7th, 2011.
When Dennis Oland testified in March, he was asked by his lawyer Michael Lacy, before you left for home, did you change your clothes, put on coveralls or a jumpsuit, to which he replied no.
Lacy told him, the Crown will say by this point you would have used a sharp tool or weapon, swinging it 45 times at your father bludgeoning him to death.
Oland responded “that is absolutely ridiculous. I am not that kind of monster. I would not do that to my father or any person.”
Oland’s defence team closed its case in March after the lawyers and Justice Terrence Morrison visited the crime scene.
Justice Morrison said he may able to render a verdict in this case somewhere between June 7th and 14th.
