— A judge has ruled that he will allow evidence from an undercover police operation to be admitted in the trial of two Alberta men charged with killing three people. An undercover Mountie who posed as an organized crime boss known as Mr. Big testified how RCMP staged a sting operation in the hope of getting Klaus to confess to killing his own family. The court has already heard that Klaus has admitted he helped plan their deaths. In a taped conversation that was played in court, Frank told the undercover Mountie how he went about shooting each of the three family members twice in the head, then shot the family’s dog and lit the house on fire. Klaus was scheduled to testify today, but after Macklin ruled on the admissibility, Klaus’s lawyer asked for time to speak to his client and proceedings were adjourned until Tuesday.
