A young person was charged with first degree murder in the death of Allen Constance on May 13, 2012.
At a preliminary hearing, the Crown and defence narrowed the issue to whether the accused should be committed for trial on first or second degree murder.
The court found sufficient evidence that the accused planned and deliberately killed the deceased, and committed the accused for trial on first degree murder.
The evidence established that the accused disliked the deceased due to romantic involvement with the accused's girlfriend, that threats were made by the deceased, that a fight was arranged by telephone approximately 1.5 hours before the incident, and that the accused armed himself with a concealed weapon before attending the location.
