A man named Brooklyn Elijah Hiebert was brutally murdered in December 2023, with an estimated 50 or more individual injuries inflicted during the attack. Three individuals, Christopher Kyle Wattman, Hazel Flett, and Victoria Lee Andrews, are on trial for the first-degree murder of the 20-year-old in a North End Winnipeg drug house.
According to prosecutor Theresa Cannon, Hiebert was lured into a drug house's basement at Selkirk Avenue on December 24, 2023, by Flett. Wattman was brought in later to confront Hiebert, who was then tied to a folding chair with duct tape and subjected to a prolonged beating. Flett returned upstairs, while Andrews went into the basement and received orders to finish the attack by killing Hiebert.
Hiebert was found the following day, wrapped in household items and duct tape, deposited against a church fence in the 200 block of Flora Avenue. His body remained undiscovered until December 30. The trial is scheduled to last four weeks.
