A preliminary hearing is set for June for a man charged with manslaughter in connection with the 2015 death of his mother at Maskwacis.

RCMP were called to a residence on the reserve on the morning of July 3, 2015 and found Sharon Ermineskin dead in her home.

After a lengthy investigation, RCMP’s major crimes unit charged Scott Ermineskin, with manslaughter and indignity to human remains.

A preliminary hearing is held to determine if there’s enough evidence to warrant an accused be tried in Court of Queen’s Bench.

The hearing will be held at Wetaskiwin provincial court from June 19 to 20.
