The Crown sought to commit the two accused to stand trial for first degree murder following a preliminary inquiry.
The accused attended a house party where the deceased allegedly pointed a gun at them.
The Crown alleged the accused formulated a plan to take the gun from the host and shoot the deceased.
The accused subsequently beat the host outside, took the gun, and shot the deceased through a window.
The court applied the Sheppard test and found sufficient circumstantial evidence of intent, aiding and abetting, and planning and deliberation to commit both accused to stand trial for first degree murder.
