'CALGARY - Minutes after she is alleged to have fatally shot her common-law husband Kevin Dunseath in the head, Lela Mae La France phoned a friend looking for drugs, court heard Tuesday.

Claude St. Germaine testified he received the call from La France just after midnight on Aug. 9, 2008, requesting crack cocaine and telling him, "I killed him."

St. Germaine said he put his cell phone on speaker phone at the rural home, so three friends could hear what she was saying to La France on the call from hers and Dunseath's home in Strathmore, 40 kilometres east of Calgary.

"She said, 'I finally did it, I did what we had discussed, I killed him,'" the witness told Crown prosecutor Eric Tolppanen.

La France, 40, on trial for second-degree murder, has pleaded not guilty in connection with the death of Dunseath, 46.'
