The brother of a man accused of fatally shooting a provincial police officer more than two years ago testified Monday that he found the two accused killers inside a trailer on his property on the afternoon of the alleged murder.

Richard McKenzie told the jury trial in Cayuga, Ont., that his trailer was locked when he arrived home that day and after getting inside, he found his younger brother, Randall McKenzie, there with Brandi Stewart-Sperry.
