Jury trial scheduled for Rimbey man charged in Brazeau County homicide

Dec 13, 2023 | 1:32 PM

A jury trial has been scheduled for a Rimbey, AB, man charged in a homicide in Brazeau County last year.

Shane Allen Marshall, 38, is scheduled for a jury trial in Wetaskiwin Court of King’s Bench from Feb. 3-14, 2025. He faces one count of second-degree murder.

A second charge of threats cause death/bodily harm was dismissed in Red Deer Court of Justice on Jan. 17, 2023, after initially being scheduled for trial on that charge on that day.

It was on Oct. 17, 2022, when Breton RCMP received a report requesting a welfare check on a male at a rural property in Brazeau County. Upon arrival, officers spoke to and arrested a male on outstanding warrants.

After conducting a search of the property, RCMP located a deceased male. The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit was called in to investigate.
