Warning: some images and issues in this story are disturbing.

The prosecution closed its second degree murder case against Haiden Suarez Noa today with the jury watching a video of the accused in an interview with police admitting that he killed his girlfriend Tania Cowell in March of 2013.

About 24 hours after Tania Cowell was killed, Sergeant Greg Rodzoniak sat down with Suarez Noa. He had brought the accused to Hamilton from Guelph where Suarez Noa had turned himself into police.

“I told them, I killed my girlfriend, and I’m here to surrender. This is not a joke, it’s not funny.”

Suarez Noa says their five month old son was sleeping when he killed Cowell and the blood on the baby the next day must have been transferred from his hands.

By this time, police had been to the crime scene and had seen Tania Cowell’s body on the living room floor with 11 stab wounds. In the interview, Suarez Noa gestured to where he had stabbed Cowell’s body with a kitchen knife, but he couldn’t remember how many times.

“You told me you killed your girlfriend, but why?”

This question, Suarez Noa would not answer although he agreed the two were fighting in the small hall outside the bathroom when he attacked her. Afterwards, he says he dragged her into the living room, she was shaking, still alive.

That was the end of the crown’s case, tomorrow we’ll find out whether the defence will call any evidence and whether Haiden Suarez Noa will take the stand himself.
