Oct 3, 2018 | 2:50 PM

A man charged in a 2017 homicide in Red Deer will face a preliminary hearing next spring.

Gabriel Agotic, 34, is charged with manslaughter for the July 17, 2017 death of Mathiang Chol.

It was just after 6 a.m. on March 29, 2017 when Red Deer RCMP were dispatched to an apartment to assist with a male suffering from serious injuries after being assaulted.  He was eventually flown to a Calgary hospital and placed on life support but died the following day.

An autopsy determined Chol, who was 26, died by homicide.

Agotic was eventually arrested in Calgary in July of 2018 and charged with manslaughter.
