Diego Osorio faces second-degree murder trial in Saint John

Diego Alejandro Osorio, 28, is standing trial for the second-degree murder of his wife, Nicsy Ximena Arboleda Rodriguez, 30. The case involves the December 2024 death of Arboleda, who was found with severe injuries on a street in West Saint John.

During the proceedings, a jury heard testimony from the victim's employer, who stated that Arboleda had mentioned she and her husband were ‘splitting’ shortly before she was found unresponsive. Osorio, who originally came to Canada from Colombia as a refugee, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
