Crown prosecutor Suzanne Reid is opposed to Buck’s release.

Judge Kevin Hill adjourned the show cause hearing to be continued on Dec. 11 at 11 a.m. as the accused still needs to confirm an address where he could stay if released.

Police previously stated, on July 6 at about 1 a.m., Battlefords RCMP received a report of an assault at a home in Meota. As a result of the incident, one man was taken to hospital with serious injuries following an altercation with another man. Two days later, Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Unit was advised the victim, 56-year-old Richard Buck, died from his injuries.
