A Bowden man accused of killing his girlfriend will face a preliminary hearing next year.

Ross Arran McInnes, 27, is due in Calgary provincial court from June 20-24, 2022 for a hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence for his case to proceed to trial.

McInnes is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kirsten O’Donoghue (Gardner).

The 25-year-old mother of two was found dead in her Bowden apartment on March 22. McInnes was arrested at the scene.

McInness remains in custody at this time. A decision regarding his bail application is expected July 2.
