The murder occured in Hamilton in 2011 but the case is being heard in St. Catharines.

Details in the confession convinced police Cafe is guilty of 82-year-old George Burnett’s murder.

Police were stumped by the case, until a detective working online found something strange on Loujack Cafe’s Facebook page.

Cafe would go to this Francophone Resource Centre daily to use computers.

Police had been looking to question him because he lived behind George Burnett at the time of the murder.

In an interview, he denied involvement. but two months later police found something else on his facebook page, photos of George Burnett that looked like the ones police took the night they found him dead.

The trial is expected to take four weeks to complete.
