Robert Olson came after Dean Boucher with an axe handle on the night of his death, Boucher told RCMP Sgt. Bradley Wirochowsky shortly after being charged with the second-degree murder of Olson.

A video of the Jan. 6, 2005 interview Wirochowsky did with Boucher at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre was shown Wednesday to a 12-member jury at the murder trial of Boucher and Mark Lange.

Yukon Supreme Court Justice Leigh Gower is presiding over the case.

Both Boucher and Lange are charged with the second degree murder of Olson, who owned the Caribou Hotel in Carcross. Olson's body was found in the Wolf Creek subdivision on Dec. 27, 2004.

The Jan. 6 interview was done a day after the charge against Boucher was changed from accessory to murder to second-degree murder.

Boucher argued the charge should be changed to aggravated assault causing death because of Olson's attack.

'There was no second-degree murder; that's what happened,' he said, adding Olson was always coming after people with clubs.

'If I did kill him, I would've fó-ed right off down south,' Boucher said.

He told Olson he was taking the truck to Whitehorse to get cocaine and invited him to come along.

'I was on my fifth week of being high,' he said.

After he said he was taking the truck, Olson grabbed something and attacked with it, Boucher continued.

Throughout the brief interview, Wirachowsky made it clear police had more information than when they last spoke to Boucher in late December and that Boucher hadn't been entirely honest with them.

Boucher told the officer he wanted to know everything the other person involved said. If they tried to implicate him, he would tell police everything, he told Wirachowsky.

'This guy's a piece of sót and I want to know everything he's saying,' he said.

While the RCMP asked Boucher if he wanted to go back to the Caribou Hotel to re-enact the scene, Boucher wasn't able to reach legal aid personnel and the interview ended.

Lange had done a re-enactment after turning himself in on Dec. 30. A warrant had been out for his arrest.

The court also heard Wednesday from biology recovery officer Tracey Sanders, who's based in Regina and works with the RCMP.

She noted numerous items were sent to the lab for DNA analysis.

Swabs from the floor and bottom part of the door at the Caribou Hotel found blood and the DNA matched that of Olson.

A test of the gloves found in the front seat of Olson's truck, also located in Wolf Creek, couldn't exclude Olson, Lange and Boucher's DNA on the inside tips of the two thumbs, though it wasn't determined the DNA was theirs.

Olson and Boucher were also identified as possible contributors to DNA on Boucher's left shoe.

There was insufficient DNA on the right shoe to make a conclusion.

While there was blood on Lange's right shoe, it was inconclusive and there was no blood on the left shoe.

Olson's DNA matched that on a jacket found nearby his body.

Under cross-examination by Boucher's lawyer, Keith Pakkari, Sanders said if a shoe was washed, blood could disappear.

'If it was washed, it could very well be washed away,' she commented.

Sanders also told the court when there are more than two individuals' DNA on an object, it becomes more complicated to determine who the DNA belongs to.

The Crown was expected to wrap up its case today, with both defence counsels cross-examining Wirachowsky this morning.
