A Newmarket court heard yesterday how Alicia Ross was killed just steps from the front door of her family's Thornhill home following a confrontation with her next door neighbour.
In the opening day of the murder trial, the jury heard how a run-in between Ross and her neighbour, Daniel Sylvester, escalated into a violent fight, lasting only a few minutes.
In her opening remarks, Crown prosecutor Kelly Wright said she rejected Sylvester's bid to plead guilty to manslaughter.
Wright told the jury that Sylvester's actions demonstrated that he intended to kill Ross.
Sylvester has been charged with second-degree murder.

U-Ville Fire Displaces 16
More than 50 firefighters and nine pumper trucks battled a noon-hour blaze in Unionville that destroyed 16 seniors' units.
No fatalities were reported.
All but one of the 16 displaced residents have been accounted for.
Staff at the Unionvilla facility are contacting the family of one female resident, who reportedly, was at a doctor's appointment when the fire started.
A roof fire near 37 Anna Russell Way was reported at 12:27 p.m. and by the time crews arrived, the fire had spread to the row of attached homes.
By about 1:30 p.m., the fire was extinguished.
The cause of the blaze has not been determined.
