PICTOU, N.S. – The trial of Christopher Falconer for the 2011 murder of Amber Kirwan continues Tuesday with more witnesses expected to testify.
Nova Scotia’s chief medical examiner said Monday Kirwan was stabbed at least 10 times by her assailant and bled to death.
Dr. Matthew Bowes said it’s apparent the 19-year-old was stabbed multiple times but it’s impossible to tell how many because the wounds were so close together.

Bowes said most of the stab wounds were on her neck and back, but one went through her heart.
