Defence lawyers for two Burlington, Ont., women accused of murdering a boy in their care cross-examined his younger brother Friday, questioning his credibility, memory and motives.

Kim Edward, who represents one of the women, Brandy Cooney, suggested to the boy that he tells the story of whoever is in charge of his care.

“You tell them the story you think they want to hear so you feel safe and protected,” she said, and suggested he fabricated allegations against Cooney and Becky Hamber to please his current caregivers.

“That’s not true,” the boy, J.L., said.
