HALIFAX — The case of a 22-year-old man charged in the death of a fellow student at Dalhousie University in Halifax is due in court today.

Sandeson was charged with first-degree murder on Aug. 20, four days after Taylor Samson was reported missing in Halifax.

Samson's body has not been found.

Sandeson is a varsity track athlete who was about to start classes at Dalhousie's medical school when he was charged.

Samson, a 22-year-old former resident of Amherst, N.S., studied physics at the university.
