'We had something go wrong tonight that we had to get situated'

Tristan Wolusky

DOVER, N.H. - An acquaintance of two of the three alleged killers of Aaron Wilkinson said she texted purported ringleader Tristan Wolusky about a half hour after prosecutors say the Madbury teen was fatally stabbed to death to ask if Zachary "D.J." Pinette and Wolusky were serious about getting her painkillers like they'd promised the day before.

"No he's (Pinette) serious. We had something go wrong tonight that we had to get situated. We're getting them now," Wolusky texted back, according to phone records revealed in court.

The chilling exchange was among many grim revelations during the fourth day of Wolusky's first-degree murder trial at Strafford County Superior Court on Friday.

Wolusky, 19, of 46 Lowell St., Rochester, Pinette, 19, of Springvale, Maine, and Michael Tatum, 22, of Barrington are accused of killing the 18-year-old Wilkinson in the driveway of his Madbury home around 1:30 a.m. on June 21, 2014, then dumping his body along Long Swamp Road in Lebanon.

Annette Menot, a witness for the prosecution, said she met Wolusky and Pinette the day before in Springvale, Maine, and she gave Pinette and Wolusky her phone number after they said they could get her some painkillers.

She said she texted Wolusky several times throughout the night, admitting many were of a sexual nature.

Also on Friday grim and graphic testimony from the then-Chief Medical Examiner of Maine Dr. Margaret Greenwald revealed the utter savagery of the attack on Wilkinson, said to have stood 5'8'' and weighed just 127 pounds at the time of his death.

The Maine Medical Examiner's Office conducted the official autopsy because Wilkinson's body was found in Maine.

Greenwald testified her autopsy showed he was stabbed 22 times, including wounds to his heart, spine, skull, lungs, kidney, shoulder, arms, legs, and jugular. The officials cause of death was ruled multiple stab wounds. Wilkinson also suffered abrasions, bruises and contusions.

Many of Wilkinson's relatives left the courtroom during Greenwald's testimony, while Wolusky stared straight ahead.

Another witness testified she hung out with Pinette and some of his friends the morning of June 21, just hours after the slaying. She said at one point they were driving around and Pinette stopped his car, left the group and went into some woods with a plastic bag and a can of gasoline.

The female witness, a minor who can't be identified, said he came back about 20 minutes later and said he'd burned his ankle.

In interviews later with police, Pinette said he'd burned all three suspects' blood-soaked clothing in woods near his apartment the same day Wilkinson was killed.

The witness also said Pinette got several phone calls during the morning that made him "angry."

Pinette and Tatum, who have pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for their testimony against Wolusky, have yet to be called to the stand.

Wolusky could get life without parole if convicted, while Tatum and Pinette face life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.

The trial could last till mid-October.
