Medical student’s murder trial shown video of initial Halifax police interview
HALIFAX — Accused murderer William Sandeson was polite and co-operative when first questioned by investigators, a Halifax officer testified Monday as the jury was shown a video of the medical student’s initial police interview.
RCMP Sgt. Charla Keddy testified that Sandeson was not under suspicion when she interviewed him on Aug. 18, two days after Taylor Samson, a Dalhousie University physics student, was reported missing.
Keddy told the Nova Scotia Supreme Court jury that Samson’s case had not yet been deemed a homicide, but his drug-dealing had heightened concerns about his disappearance.
She said she was assigned to follow up on a phone number that had been linked to Sandeson — the last number retrieved from Samson’s phone.
