Suspects in death of RCMP officer make first court appearance
The two people accused of killing RCMP Const. Shelby Patton in Wolseley on Saturday faced the charges for the first time in a Regina courtroom Monday.
Shortly after 9:30 a.m., 41-year-old Alphonse Traverse and 42-year-old Marlene Pagee, both from Winnipeg, made their first court appearance on charges of manslaughter, failing to stop after an accident resulting in death, vehicle theft and other related charges.
Their appearance didn’t take very long — the charges were read to both suspects, and they began sorting out their legal representation.
Pagee is to return to court Friday, while Traverse is to be back June 21.
