About a month after an Ibex Valley man's remains were discovered inside his burned-down cabin, the two people now charged with his murder were found at a run-down hotel on Edmonton's skid row.

Prosecutors at a Yukon Supreme Court murder trial continue to take the jury through the narrative of how Christina Asp and Norman Larue ended up charged with the March 2008 killing of Gordon Seybold.

Asp has been on trial since March, facing a first-degree murder charge.

Larue, also charged in the case, is expected to go to trial later this year.

On Monday, the jury heard from a series of police officers with both the Alberta RCMP and Edmonton Police Service and who arrested the couple in April 2008 on Canada-wide warrants for parole violations.

Police in Alberta had been asked by Whitehorse investigators to help find Asp and Larue, who at this time were persons of interest in the homicide investigation, the officers said.

After a phone believed to belong to the couple pinged off a cell tower near the downtown's skid row area, investigators began questioning staff at a series of hotels, the court heard.

Det. Shane Candie of the Edmonton police service testified that when officers arrived at the Mount Royal Hotel, they found three people behind the front desk.

Thinking they were hotel staff, police approached the group with photos of Asp and Larue.

The trio appeared nervous and would not answer questions, Candie said.

It was then that the officers realized one of the females with the group looked like Asp.

When asked about her identity, she admitted who she was and was arrested.

While police arrested Asp, one of the hotel's staff members held up a note that read "303”, the Candie told the court.

The plain-clothes officers then proceeded up to the hotel's third floor to room 303.

When Larue exited the room, Candie and his partner, one armed with a Taser and the second with his gun drawn, arrested Larue as well.

The police confiscated a cell phone out of his back pocket.

Both Asp and Larue were co-operative while being arrested, Candie said.

The trial, which continued today, is being heard in front of Supreme Court Justice Leigh Gower.
