A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for an Olds man accused of murder.
Dustin Piper, 24, was charged in the death of Airdrie resident Garland Curtis, 40.
RCMP were called to investigate on Jan. 12, when one of Curtis’s co-workers in Fort McMurray became concerned because the man had not showed up for work. His body was found by police checking his home in Airdrie.
Investigators arrested Piper in March on a charge of first-degree murder.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 20 in Calgary. Preliminary hearings are held to determine whether the Crown has sufficient evidence to proceed to trial.
