His trial, that lasted throughout most of March, was overseen by Justice Terence Schultes.

Simpson is charged with murder and interference with a dead body in connection with the death of 33-year old Carmelita Abraham.

She was reported missing by her family back on January 4th, 2022.

Investigators were able to determine that she had left Williams Lake for Quesnel about a week before that.

The North District Major Crimes Unit then took over the investigation on January 10th, when the case went from a missing persons investigation to a suspected homicide.
