But it was 'only' manslaughter....
First-degree murder trial of a former Kamloops, B.C., lawyer says the accused methodically planned the murder of his client for more than a week.
Ann Katrine Saettler told a B.C. Supreme Court judge in Vancouver that Rogelio "Butch" Bagabuyo wrote a "planning note" that reminded him to bag everything after, not to bring his mobile phone or E-watch, turn off his GPS and throw his garbage out.
"This note, which had to be written before the event, suggests he has thought about where to commit that murder and why," Saettler told the court Tuesday in her closing arguments.
Bagabuyo is accused of first-degree murder in the March 11, 2022, killing of his client Mohd Abdullah, a lecturer at Thompson Rivers University.
Bagabuyo's lawyer Mark Swartz will start his final arguments on Wednesday. He confirmed on Monday to Justice Kathleen Ker that his client admits that he killed Abdullah but says it was manslaughter.

He Starskeyed when he should have Hutched 
District Attorney General Chris Stanford has announced his resignation following an indictment in connection with shots being fired during the arrest of triple homicide suspects, according to a letter to Gov. Bill Lee obtained by WSMV4.
The letter addressed to the governor, sent by Stanford’s attorney, Jeff Cherry of Lowery Lowery & Cherry, PLLC, states that the McMinnville man’s last day in office will be October 31.
“It has been an honor to serve his constituents alongside the dedicated and diligent staff of his office, and he is proud of the work his team has accomplished together,” the letter states.
Stanford was indicted by a DeKalb County Grand Jury in a shooting incident near the Bell Street Apartments in Smithville during the apprehension of three suspects in a Warren County triple homicide in 2024. He was charged with reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm into an occupied habitation.
