Nov 19, 2018 | 10:56 AM

Witness testimony is expected to continue Tuesday afternoon in a fatal stabbing trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.

On Monday, the trial for 34-year-old Danial Boyd Sawyer saw the jury excused until 2:00 p.m. on November 20, allowing the Crown and defence to address additional preliminary matters.

Sawyer is charged with second degree murder in the November 18, 2015 incident that resulted in the death of Allan Beach.

The 31-year-old passed away from injuries suffered after being stabbed in the Village Mall parking lot near the Blarney Stone pub.
