WINNIPEG — A man accused of killing a Winnipeg girl whose body was found in the Red River is waiting to see whether he will get a review of his treatment by police.

Raymond Cormier is charged with second-degree murder in the 2014 death of Tina Fontaine, a 15-year-old who was in the care of Child and Family Services.

While waiting for his trial, Cormier filed a complaint with Manitoba’s Law Enforcement Review Agency that alleged Winnipeg police acted inappropriately.

Cormier told the CBC that police fabricated evidence to use against him.
