Two women facing murder charges in the death of a 12-year-old boy in their care referred to him as a “loser” and “such an asshole” in text messages recovered from their phones, a police sergeant testified in an Ontario Superior Court courtroom on Monday.
The court also heard an audio clip recorded by the couple in which one of the women calls the boy a “f**king p***k.” These messages were among the thousands of photos, videos, and recordings Sgt. Julie Powers testified that she had reviewed as part of the investigation into Burlington couple Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney.
