LONDON, Ont. - A jury is seeing gruesome crime-scene photos of the bodies of eight men linked to the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle club.
Family members stood and gasped in the London, Ont., courtroom at photos that showed the victims' gunshot wounds and blood-stained bodies. The victims of Ontario's largest mass slaying were found in four vehicles in a farmer's field in southwestern Ontario in April 2006.
Six men each face charges of first-degree murder and the Crown alleges the murdered men were killed one by one as the result of a feud between two chapters of the Bandidos.
Today, provincial police Const. Ross Stuart, the lead forensic investigator, ran the court through the photos during the first day of evidence.
The trial got underway Tuesday with the Crown's opening statement.
