Resolution expected for man accused of trying to kill his parents
LETHBRIDGE – A resolution appears to be imminent in the case of a 28-year-old Lethbridge man, who is accused of trying to kill his parents.
Nigel Vermeulen faces two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault, in connection with an incident earlier this year.
During a brief court appearance Thursday morning, June 14, defence lawyer Greg White said he has received instructions from Vermeulen on how to proceed but needed time to discuss it with the Crown. The case was then adjourned to July 10.
Prosecutor Erin Olsen stated that they anticipate guilty pleas being entered at that time that will see the matter resolved. She could not however, comment on what Vermeulen is expected to plead guilty to.
