Nathan Mullen appeared in Estevan provincial court on Monday to determine when his preliminary trial will take place.
Presiding Judge Lane Weigers said he wanted to ensure that a relief judge would be available for the preliminary trial, and adjourned the proceedings to March 23 to finalize a trial date.
A potential preliminary trial date in late July was considered, but further discussion between the defence and the Crown was required to agree on a date.
Mullen’s eyes didn’t veer far from Judge Lane Weigers, who asked him if he wanted to appear by video next week.
He answered yes, and was remanded in custody.
Mullen is charged with second-degree-murder following the death of Leslie Erin Dwyre, who was found dead in her Petterson Drive home April 21, 2014.
