KAMLOOPS - The judge in the B.C. Supreme Court murder trial of Vitali Stefanski warned jury members to prepare for graphic evidence as they were shown photos of the body of his ex-wife, found off a forest road in 2024.

Justice Bradford Smith told the jury in the second-degree murder trial that the photos were to help them decide facts like the circumstances before and after Tatjana Stefanski died, but not to cause sympathy for the Crown’s case or prejudice against the accused.
