VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Jamie Bacon is getting a separate trial in the Surrey six murder case.
The Crown’s Neil MacKenzie explains why three other men, Michael Le, Matthew Johnston and Cody Haevischer, also charged in the 2007 slayings, will remain in one case.
“Separate trials will enable Mr. Bacon to bring applications in relation to issues that involve only him, including issues like solicitor-client privilege.”
MacKenzie says they don’t expect the trials to begin before next year.
“There are a number of pretrial applications that are being dealt with. We certainly anticipate that trial dates are going to be set and will commence sometime in 2013.”
In 2007, four targeted men and two innocent victims, 22-year-old Chris Mohan and 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg, were found brutally murdered in a Surrey highrise.
Dennis Karbovanec has already pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and one count of conspiracy. He’s serving a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 15 years.
