Opening statements began on Monday in the murder trial for Telma Boinville, who was found dead in a North Shore home in 2017.

The 16-person jury trial started around 10:15 a.m. before First Circuit Court Judge Rowena Somerville on Monday.

State Prosecutor Scott Bell spoke first for about 20 minutes, laying out to the jury the events that led up to Boinville’s death, making his case as to why the two suspects — Stephen Brown and Hailey Dandurand — are responsible for her murder.
