Father, son accused of killing Metis hunters ask Alberta court again for bail

Mar 16, 2021 | 5:00 PM

EDMONTON – An Alberta judge is to rule Friday on whether two men charged with killing two Metis hunters will be granted bail.

Roger Bilodeau and his son Anthony Bilodeau both face two counts of second-degree murder.

Jake Sansom, 39, and his uncle Maurice Cardinal, 57, were shot to death on a rural road near Glendon, northeast of Edmonton, last March.

Sansom was a firefighter from Nobleford.

A trial is scheduled to begin on May 25.

The accused men were denied bail last summer and applied for a bail review.

A second bail hearing was held today in Edmonton, but details cannot be revealed due to a publication ban.
