SURREY (NEWS 1130) – The trial of a woman accused of killing her eight-year-old daughter nearly four years ago is beginning Tuesday.
Lisa Batstone is charged with second-degree murder.
The body of Teagan Batstone was discovered in the trunk of a car that had crashed in a ditch in South Surrey on Dec. 10, 2014.
The start of this trial comes after a voir dire — or a “trial within a trial” — over whether certain evidence was admissible.
Batstone underwent an assessment shortly after her daughter’s death, and it was determined she was fit to stand trial.
