A restaurant employee took the stand on Wednesday, as the trial of two men accused of killing a man continued in a Barrie court.
The employee described seeing a fight break out. He says one of the accused, Jessy Herlichka, kicked Andrew Mixemong in the face and punched him. The witness says he tried to intervene, but stopped when the other accused, Paul McClung, threatened him.
Mixemong, 59, was a well-known aboriginal leader who worked at the Georgian Bay Friendship Centre. In July of 2012, he was beaten outside of a deli in Midland. Mixemong later died in hospital.
Herlichka and McClung are both facing second-degree murder charges.
