Decision in Dellen Millard murder trial in Toronto delayed until fall

By Adam Carter

A decision in Dellen Millard’s first-degree murder trial in the death of his father, Wayne Millard, in Toronto has been delayed until this fall.Ā Ā Ontario Superior Court Justice Maureen ForestellĀ said Thursday morning she would not be in a position to give aĀ decisionĀ until Sept. 24.Ā Ā ForestellĀ previously said she had a full caseload through most of the summer.

Millard’sĀ trial is being heldĀ in front of a judge alone, as Ontario’s attorney general agreedĀ thatĀ the Toronto man’sĀ previous high-profile trials would make it difficult to find fair jurors. Closing submissions marked the end of evidence atĀ the three-weekĀ trialĀ on June 22.

Wayne Millard’s deathĀ was originally ruled a suicide. HeĀ was found at his home at 5 Maple Gate Court in the Toronto suburb of EtobicokeĀ onĀ Nov. 29, 2012, after he was shot in the eye. At the time, Dellen Millard was living at his father’s home.

The 32-year-oldĀ wasn’t charged in his father’s death until 2014, after police started investigating the slayings of both Tim Bosma and Laura Babcock, a Toronto woman who had been involved with Dellen.

Millard is serving consecutive life sentences for those slayings.
