The trial got underway Tuesday in the 2006 axe murder of a man in a west end apartment.
The body of 36-year-old Dennis Hoy was found in a building on The Queensway near Royal York in October of that year.
Ashley Pechaluk, who is in her early 20s, faces first degree murder charges in the slaying.
In an opening statement Tuesday the Crown alleged that the accused stood to make $250,000 in insurance money and was in a sexual relationship with another woman who’s also accused in Hoy’s death.
