The 911 operator who took a call from three Aboriginal sisters killed in a domestic violence dispute was on the stand Tuesday for an inquest into their death.

Stephanie Anderson completed her testimony and said she would have handled the call from Corinne McKeown and Doreen Leclair differently. The sisters placed five calls to 911 operators in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but police were sent only the first time.

The sisters were later found dead, when police came after the last call William Dunlop, the ex-boyfriend of McKweon, who had a restraining order against him, stabbed the women.
