One of two co-accused in the first-degree murder of Mark Jonson in North Battleford saw his matters back in provincial court Oct. 29.

Nicolas Buck appeared by closed-circuit TV during his latest appearance before Judge Kim Young in North Battleford.

All his matters have been adjourned to Nov. 7, 11 a.m., again by CCTV. The indication from counsel is that a preliminary hearing will likely be set for Buck on that date. Buck remains in custody.

Co-accused David Keller, who is still in custody after bail was denied in Queen’s Bench court, also faces a first-degree murder charge. Keller is also scheduled to appear Nov. 7 in provincial court, again to set a preliminary hearing. The murder charges against Buck and Keller stem from July of this year.
