Trial date to be set Monday for man charged in killing of Red Deer doctor

RED DEER, AB – A trial date is to be set today (Feb. 1) for a man who wants to act as his own lawyer when he is tried in the killing of a family doctor at a medical clinic in central Alberta.

Deng Mabiour is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying last summer of Dr. Walter Reynolds at the Village Mall Walk-In Clinic in Red Deer.

A judge warned Mabiour about the seriousness of the offence at his last court appearance in December, but Mabiour still insisted he did not want a lawyer.

He has pleaded not guilty.
