The inquiry into the death of Neil Stonechild, a 17-year-old Cree Native, continued on Tuesday.

Jason Roy testified he was with Stonechild the night he was last seen alive. He said police in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, put Stonechild into a police cruiser. "These guys are going to kill me," Roy recalled Stonechild as saying.

Stonechild's body was found five days later on the outskirts of town. Police say he froze to death.
