Central Alberta murder case going to trial
A man charged in a central Alberta homicide last year has been ordered to stand trial.
Boyd Wade Beaverbones, 26, a resident of the O’Chiese First Nation, was ordered to stand trial following a preliminary hearing held in Rocky Mountain House Court of Justice last week. A trial date, however, has yet to be set.
It was on May 8, 2023, when Rocky Mountain House RCMP responded to a report of a shooting on the O’Chiese First Nation. Upon arrival, Mounties say 31-year-old Brett Roan was found deceased. His manner of death was deemed to be a homicide.
According to police, the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit was called in to investigate and an arrest warrant was obtained for Boyd Beaverbones.
