Testimony of the last of the 911 operators who handled calls from two Aboriginal sisters killed in a domestic violence dispute completed on Wednesday.

Sue Cieslar said she would have requested police go to the Winnipeg, Manitoba, home of Corrine McKeown and Doreen Leclair had she known about the previous calls the sisters made. Police were dispatched only after the first and final call.

After the fifth call, the sisters were found dead. William Dunlop, ex-boyfiend of McKeown, pleaded guilty to murder.

McKeown had a restraining order against Dunlop but police were unable to ascertain the information.
