Ontario Murder Trial: Hamber Testifies She Didn't Kill Boy
Becky Hamber denies killing a boy in her care amid abuse trial.
In January 2024, the Ontario Superior Court in Milton heard testimony from Becky Hamber, 46, who claims she did nothing to kill 12‑year‑old L.L., the boy who died in 2022 while in her and her wife Brandy Cooney’s (44) care. Hamber, who pleaded not guilty to first‑degree murder, told the court she wanted L.L.’s younger brother, 13‑year‑old J.L., to remain with them. Prosecutors and defense lawyers questioned Hamber about alleged abuse, toxic text messages, and failed warnings from Ottawa child‑welfare workers. Former child advocate Irwin Elman noted changes to the agency after the death. The trial continues into next week.
