Norman Mattson, investigator with the Saskatoon Police Service, testified Tuesday morning at Saskatoon's Court of Queen's Bench. He said Taypotat was covered in blood with stab wounds in his abdomen and chest when he was found lying in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood street.

A blood sample was then taken from Quewezance, who was an inmate at the Prince Albert Penitentiary, and was sent for DNA analysis. Blomquist told the court that it confirmed the database match was correct.
