At a preliminary inquiry into the death of Shane Stone, the Crown sought committal of three accused on charges of second degree murder.
The victim was beaten to death in the accused's bedroom on January 2, 2013.
One accused conceded committal.
The court found sufficient evidence to commit the other two accused to trial on second degree murder, with one accused also facing charges of accessory after the fact and robbery.
The decision turned on circumstantial evidence including DNA findings, forensic evidence, witness testimony, and cell phone records establishing presence and participation in the assault.
