Homicide investigation

Preliminary hearing date to be rescheduled for accused connected to Laverdiere death

May 15, 2020 | 5:00 PM

One of the remaining six accused facing charges related to Tiki Brook-Lyn Laverdiere’s homicide investigation will have his preliminary hearing date changed due to COVID-19 precautions.

Jesse Sangster who is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, improperly interfering with a human body and theft of a motor vehicle, originally was to appear for a three-week preliminary hearing starting June 22 at North Battleford Provincial Court.

According to the Saskatchewan Law Courts, the hearing will not proceed at that time. It had to be adjourned due to complications during the COVID-19 pandemic precautions.

The matter was rescheduled to June 5 to set a new date for the preliminary hearing.

Laverdiere, 25, was reported missing on May 12 of last year and last seen in North Battleford on May 1, 2019. Human remains were found in a rural area outside of North Battleford July 11 and confirmed to be the Edmonton woman on July 16.
