A woman facing charges in connection to a fatal collision near Cochin last November will see her matters return to provincial court May 7.
Charnelle Swiftwolfe, whose charges include two counts of impaired driving causing death, two counts of impaired operation over 80 mg per cent blood alcohol content causing death and one count of failing to comply with a probation order, was scheduled to appear in court April 28.
Her charges stem from a serious incident Nov. 1 in which a car rolled over into Lehman Canal. Two men from Moosomin First Nation were killed.
However Swiftwolfe did not show up to court Tuesday, much to the surprise of counsel.
After making some further attempts to contact her, frustrated-looking lawyers Glen Jacques for the Crown and defence lawyer Bill Archer of Legal Aid returned to the courtroom and were granted an adjournment by Judge Lorna Dyck, who had earlier expressed displeasure with the numerous adjournments in the case.
Dyck noted this was Swiftwolfe’s 14th court date on the impaired driving causing death information.
Swiftwolfe is being required to personally attend May 7 and a warrant is being held as well.
