Bail decision reserved for suspect in shooting death of First Nations man on farm
NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. — Supporters of a First Nations man shot on a Saskatchewan farm shouted at his accused killer as the man was led out of court by police Thursday.
Gerald Stanley, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Colten Boushie, tried to cover his head with the hood of his sweatshirt outside Court of Queen’s Bench in Battleford, Sask.
The bail hearing ended with a judge saying he would release a written decision Friday or early next week.
“Though it’s not necessarily the answer we wanted to see, it’s important that we do respect the process, the investigation,” Boushie family spokesman Sheldon Wuttunee said after the hearing.
