Chapter two in the brutal death of Keith Black is beginning to unfold in a Kelowna courtroom.

Black was murdered by his wife Ronda Black in 1998. She was found guilty last year of second degree murder.

Her alleged accomplice, Howard Steadman of Exshaw, Alberta is charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder. His trial began Monday.

Crown Counsel, Norm Yates, opened the trial by stating that Steadman made two confessions to helping Ronda Black dismember and dispose of her husband's body -- once in a sting operation while the other confession came when Steadman was arrested in June, 2003.

Yates says he plans on calling up to 20 witnesses and the trial could last five weeks.
