Day three of the Kimberly Price Tilbury murder trial started with explosive testimony from one of the initial co-accused.
Darin Noland, Price's ex-boyfriend, was called as a Crown witness and testified that Price told him that her son, David Trealout, was going to kill Henry Neudorf the night of January 11, 2024.
"What are you doing? You're going to ruin everybody's lives. What did he do to deserve this? What makes you think you're going to get away with it?" Noland asked.
Noland added that Trealout ambushed Neudorf inside his own home and struck him with a large cast iron frying pan over the head several times.
Noland also testified that he saw Trealout strike Neudorf with the frying pan while Price sat and watched.
The court also heard that Price put a plastic bag over Neudorf's head and checked his pulse.
Noland also said he refused to move Neudorf's body to the trunk of Neudorf's car in the garage because he "wanted no part" of what was going on.
He did, however, drive Neudorf's car to dispose of the body because the others didn't know how to drive a standard transmission vehicle.
He testified that Price and Trealout followed in their vehicle, Trealout pulled the body out of the trunk and threw it in a ditch, and the others pushed Neudorf's car in the ditch.
Noland told the Crown that he tried to stop the murder, but didn't call 911 because he didn't have a vehicle and felt trapped.
"No way out. I was stuck and couldn't get away," said Noland.
During cross-examination, he admitted that he didn't call police or 911 immediately after he got home following the murder or during the three days before his arrest on January 14, 2024.
In late 2024, Noland pleaded guilty to being an accessory to murder after the fact and was sentenced to time already served after 227 days in pre-trial custody, plus two years of probation after a plea deal.
Noland was originally charged with first-degree murder and told the defence it happened out of the blue, and he just froze.
Trealout was sentenced in September to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in September 2025.
Trealout is expected to testify on Monday or Tuesday.
