Bail denied for first degree murder accused due to flight risk and justice concerns.
The accused applied for judicial interim release under s. 522 of the Criminal Code while charged with first degree murder arising from a fatal stabbing.
The proposed release plan involved multiple sureties, including family members and a friend, and strict conditions of residence, curfew, employment, and non-contact with witnesses.
The Crown opposed release, citing a history of breaching court orders, absconding from jurisdiction for extended periods, substance abuse, violent conduct, and the strength of the Crown’s case.
The court found the accused posed a significant flight risk and raised concerns regarding witness safety and potential interference with the administration of justice.
Detention was ordered on the primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds.
