Prosecutors told of Antoine also posting on Gargol’s Facebook, writing ‘Where are you? Haven’t heard from you. Hope you made it home safe,’ in an alleged bid to cover her tracks.

Police later received a tip-off that Antoine had made a drunken confession to the killing, CBC reported.  

During trial proceedings, Antoine said the pair had gotten into an argument, while claiming she didn’t remember killing Gargol.

‘Nothing I say or do will ever bring her back. I am very, very sorry…It shouldn’t have ever happened.’
