MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM — One of the twin brothers charged with attempted murder in the Sept. 28, 2023, machete attacks in front of the downtown TD Bank branch appeared in Provincial Court on the morning of Feb. 15.
Kyle Evan Peeace, 20, made his 9:30 a.m. appearance by video conference before Judge David Chow at the Moose Jaw Provincial Courthouse.
Peeace remains in custody and is awaiting a show cause hearing, also known as a bail hearing, which will determine whether or not he is fit to be released from custody while he awaits sentencing.
Stating the need for additional information, Peeace’s defence team asked for the case to be adjourned, which Judge Chow has tentatively set for Thursday, Feb. 22 at the Moose Jaw Provincial Courthouse. His upcoming court appearance will also be made by video conference.
The Crown did not choose to comment at this time and made no objection to the adjournment.
The incident behind Peeace’s arrest occurred on Sept. 28, 2023, at approximately 6:10 p.m., when police and EMS crews responded to multiple 911 calls regarding a stabbing incident in front of 23 High Street East.
When police arrived on scene, they assisted EMS crews who located and attended to two victims who were suffering multiple stab wounds. One of the victims was struck near the head with a machete, and the second victim had received multiple wounds.
Shortly after the incident, police were able to locate the two 20-year-old males believed to be responsible for the attacks, and after being confronted by numerous officers with the MJPS, twin brothers Dillon Cage Peeace and Kyle Evan Peeace surrendered without further incident.
Dillon has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, and Kyle’s allegations include robbery, assault with a weapon, failure to attend court with a summons, failure to appear in court, and two counts of attempted murder.
The Crown had opposed the release of the siblings, meaning that Kyle will remain in custody until at least the upcoming Feb. 22 adjournment date. At the time of today’s Feb. 15 court appearance, Kyle will have remained in custody since the night of Sept. 28, 2023, and his first court appearance the following day on Sept. 29.
The motivation behind the twin brothers’ earlier attacks has not been determined or disclosed and the incident remains under police investigation.
