Trial postponed for accused in Tiki Laverdiere homicide case
The trial that was supposed to start this week for one of the accused facing charges in the death of Tiki Laverdiere has been delayed.
Jesse Sangster, 26, of Edmonton, Alta., is facing charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping, improperly interfering with a human body, and theft of a motor vehicle.
He was originally scheduled for a four-week non-jury trial at the Court of King’s Bench in Battleford, to begin Jan. 9. The start has now been moved to a date still to be determined. Sangster is scheduled for a private pre-trial meeting on Jan. 13.
Crown lawyers Chris Browne and Charlotte Morden are prosecuting the case, with the defence lawyer still to be determined.
