Medicine Hat -
Since the 1950's Alberta has boasted that is is "rat free" giving comfort to those who may be rodent phobic and protecting the lucrative grain industry. But now a colony of rats has been found in Medicine Hat, that could challenge the claim.
Jurors wiped away tears and seasoned cops choked back emotion at the beginning of the trial for the 12-year-old girl from Medicine Hat accused of murdering her parents and her little brother.
A young girl is on trial for murdering her family. She was twelve at the time of the slayings. Her co-accused, who will be tried separately, was 23 at the time. He is her boyfriend.
