Six people shot dead in a Surrey apartment building six years ago all had their heads covered when they were shot, a court in Vancouver heard today.
The six victims were found in two groups of three inside the apartment, with a total of 19 shots fired in the massacre.
Three men, Matthew James Johnston and Cody Rae Haevischer, are charged with six counts of first-degree murder, while Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le is facing one charge of first-degree murder.
The Crown says the accused killed the other five people in the apartment so there would be no witnesses to the murder of Lal.
The three accused were all members of the Red Scorpions gang.
