This is a preliminary inquiry decision concerning the first-degree murder of Dady Junior Jean on November 4, 2015.
Four defendants were charged: Dominique P. Chrétien, Johnnie-Dean Locey-Derochie, Candy L. Locey, and Todd S. Turner.
The Crown sought committal of all four on first-degree murder.
The court examined whether there was sufficient evidence to commit each defendant to trial on first-degree murder, considering the elements of planning and deliberation.
The court found that the cumulative circumstantial evidence, including motive, opportunity, communications, procurement of a firearm, and coordinated actions, supported reasonable inferences that all four defendants knew of and participated in a planned and deliberate murder.
All four defendants were committed to trial on first-degree murder.
