B.C. Court Hears About Fatal Attack on Surrey's Tori Dunn
Witnesses described the fatal attack as the three-week trial opened, while prosecutors said Mann was on probation when Dunn was killed.
On Monday, Adam Troy Mann pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in New Westminster Supreme Court regarding the death of Tori Dunn. B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Layton is presiding over the trial, expected to last three weeks.
Trafford Wace, Dunn's partner, testified about the couple's weekend of June 15–16, 2024, describing their return to their Port Kells-area home around 9 p.m. after attending a wedding and visiting relatives in South Surrey.
While in the bathroom, Wace heard Dunn scream and confronted an intruder. "I said, 'Who the f*** are you?'" Wace told the court, identifying Mann as holding a "shiny" object in his hand.
A Surrey Police Service officer testified that police moved Dunn outside because the home was not secure. "We were not sure where the threat was at that time," the officer told Crown prosecutor Tim Livingston.
Defense lawyer Paul McMurray questioned Wace about his initial description of Mann during cross-examination. The trial resumes Tuesday at 10 a.m., and none of the allegations against Mann have been proven in court.
