New details emerged in the case based on some court documents released yesterday. CBC had been fighting in court for their release.

The documents also reveal police believe Dennis lied to them about what clothes he was wearing the day his father was killed, based on what at least two witnesses have said and video surveillance of him earlier that day.

The article also indicates that as of July 2012 LE did not know what the murder weapon was. (And their speculation in court was redacted from the documents.)

Dennis, a stockbroker and investment adviser, owed his dad more than $500,000, and the documents suggest he fell behind in making payments in the months leading up to his father’s death.

No details about how Oland died have been released. Those details are considered so-called hallmark evidence that only the killer or killers would know.
