Justin Laurens Stein, 33, who has been charged with murder, claimed Charlise Mutten was shot by her mother in 2022.
Charlise Mutten's crying mother said she had not seen her daughter for two days when she called police to report her missing several days before the young girl's body was found.
In an at-times jumbled account of what occurred, she said the last time she saw her daughter was two nights earlier and she had left the girl with Stein. "He asked if she could mind her while he went and got me … he didn't want her in the car because she'd been throwing up," Mutten said.Crown prosecutor Ken McKay SC earlier told the jury that Charlise being sick and remaining with the property-valuer was one of two explanations Stein gave Mutten about what happened to her daughter.
