The Ontario buyer said he wanted to dispose of dead farm animals.
When the man placed an order for a portable livestock incinerator last summer, he asked all the usual questions about the device’s size and fuel source. Soon after, the unit was shipped for about $15,000.
But nearly a year later, salesman Bill Penner was horrified to learn the incinerator was linked to the grisly May death of Tim Bosma, a husband and father whose charred remains were found on Dellen Millard’s farm after he’d been missing for a week. Police said Mr. Bosma’s body had been “burned beyond recognition.”
Why Mr. Bosma fell victim to such brutality after taking two men to test-drive his 2007 Dodge Ram on May 6 is the subject of speculation among Canadians baffled by motive and intent. Investigators remain tight-lipped about the high-profile case and about the connection between the pair accused of first-degree murder: Mr. Millard, 27, and Mark Smich, 25.
