Millard Charged With First Degree Murder In Bosma Case

Wednesday, 15 May 2013 11:22

27 year-old Dellen Millard has now officially been charged with first degree murder in the death of Tim Bosma. Millard appeared in Hamilton court this morning and his lawyer, Deepak Paradkar spoke to the media afterwards saying his client is "very concerned" with the charges and is exercising his right to remain silent. "At the end of the day, under the constitution Canadian citizens have the right to remain silent; even an innocent person will remain silent for obvious reasons. Something they might say or do may inadvertantly...they might find themself in trouble even having being innocent so he is remaining silent". Paradkar said his client is in protective custody but is not receiving any special treatments. Millard will be back in courtvia video on June 13th. His lawyer says that they are seeking a preliminary inquiry as soon as possible and when asked if he though finding the other suspects would help their case, he responded "we look forward to the Crown's case coming forward. I could only think it would help in the defense's case". Paradkar says Millard is still maintaining his innocence and says likely at the trial we will hear his side of the story. The additional charge of first degree murder was laid this morning after Hamilton police confirmed Tuesday that they had found Bosma's remains, which they say were burned beyond recognition. Millard is already facing charges of forcible confinement and theft over $5000.
