By The Canadian Press

Graphic videos were shown in an Edmonton courtroom Friday of a man accused in the stabbing death of a seven-year-old girl.

David Moss, who is 36, is seeking a ruling that he is not criminally responsible for second-degree murder in the killing of Bella Rose Desrosiers in May 2020.

His defence lawyer showed the judge-alone trial videos of a bloodied cell as Moss injured himself while in custody.

A clip was also played of Moss attacking a health-care worker.

Moss was to testify Friday and expert witnesses were called to analyze his behaviour.

He was staying at the Desrosiers home with the girl’s sister and her mother, who was going to take him to get help for his mental health.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 10, 2022.
