A Wetaskiwin man accused of murder is due to find out next summer if his case has enough evidence to go to trial.

Matyrus Minde, 25, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Wetaskiwin Court of Justice on July 22, 2024.

He is charged with one count of second-degree murder.

It was on Sept. 29, 2023, when Maskwacis RCMP responded to an aggravated assault on Ermineskin First Nation.

According to Mounties, the victim, a 52-year-old male resident of Maskwacis, was transported to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
