A look inside 30A Quidi Vidi Road: Jury sees evidence in Brandon Phillips trial
It was around suppertime on Oct. 10, 2015 when members of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary closed in on 30A Quidi Vidi Road, later discovering a shotgun, sneakers and a shotgun shell hidden around parts of the house.
Eerily quiet video taken from the scene prior to the search was played to the jury at Brandon Phillips's first-degree murder trial Wednesday.
The only sounds include the low volume of a television in the background, a telephone ringing as a forensic identification officer pans the three-storey St. John's apartment. No one answers.
Phillips, 29, was watched by a surveillance team entering and exiting the home. In one case, RNC Const. Gregory Greeley observed him use keys to get inside.
He was arrested the same day as a search warrant was executed on Quidi Vidi Road — ten days after Larry Wellman, 63, was shot and killed by a masked robber at the Captain's Quarters Hotel.
The following are photographs entered into evidence at the first-degree murder trial for Phillips, at Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court in St. John's.
