Loretta Saunders murder trial opens in Halifax with jury selection

Jury selection in the first-degree murder trial of two people accused of killing Saint Mary's University student Loretta Saunders started Monday with five people chosen on the first day.

The 26-year-old Inuk woman disappeared just before Valentine's Day in 2014. Her body was discovered in the median of the Trans-Canada Highway, west of Salisbury, N.B., a couple of weeks later.

Blake Leggette and Victoria Henneberry were subsequently charged in her death. Police believe Saunders was killed in the Halifax apartment she shared with Leggette and Henneberry.
