B.C. murder suspect denies pushing ex-wife into car or inflicting injuries
Stefanski says his ex-wife stabbed herself with his knife as Crown lawyers cite a police interview in which he described pushing her into his car.
- On yesterday, Vitali Stefanski testified for a second day at his B.C. Supreme Court jury trial in Kamloops, pleading not guilty to second-degree murder and claiming his ex-wife stabbed herself.
- RCMP records show Tatjana was last seen 'departing unexpectedly' in a black Audi on April 13, 2024, before being found dead near Lumby the following day with multiple stab wounds.
- Medical evidence presented by the Crown shows Tatjana suffered seven chest stabs and multiple 'sharp-force injuries' to her limbs, contradicting Vitali's claims of self-infliction.
- Vitali admitted approaching police on April 14, 2024, saying he 'was hoping' his ex-wife was alive and claimed her body 'slipped' down an embankment after he removed it from his car.
- Vitali's trial testimony contradicts earlier police interview statements where he reportedly told officers he grabbed and pushed his ex-wife, a discrepancy the jury must weigh as closing submissions approach Monday.
