Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press

Lowe, who represents Saint John Harbour in the New Brunswick legislature, was the first witness for the defence as Dennis Oland’s trial moves into its final stages. Dennis Oland, 51, is charged with the second-degree murder of his wealthy businessman father, Richard, in his uptown Saint John office.Directly across the street from the building where Oland’s office is located is Thandi’s restaurant. Lowe told the court he probably visits the eating establishment “300 or 400 times a year.

The question is, did he see the person on that night or during one of his other many visits to the restaurant? The accused was caught on security video shopping at Rothesay, on the outskirts of Saint John, at around 7:30 p.m.Following Lowe’s testimony, defence lawyer Alan Gold called Saint John police officer Stephen Davidson to the stand. Davidson interviewed Lowe in May 2015, prior to Oland’s first trial – although he did not testify during that trial.
