- INDEPTH: Virk timeline
Virk and other teens were hanging out under Victoria's Craigflower Bridge on the evening of Nov. 14, 1997, when some girls accused her of spreading rumours about one of them. Their kicks and punches left Virk barely conscious in the mud.
Ellard admits she punched Virk from behind, striking her in the jaw. She later grabbed Virk's arms and legs when she tried to get away, she testified.

Warren Glowatski, who was convicted in 1999 of second-degree murder in Virk's death, testified last week.

He said Ellard dragged Virk to the Gorge waterway, a tidal inlet, and held her underwater until she stopped moving and floated.
However in testimony on Tuesday, Ellard said she was not involved in the main assault of Virk.
Ellard's lawyer called Glowatski's testimony unreliable, accusing him of lying in order to get out of jail early. Glowatski was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999 but could be eligible for parole by this fall.
