Man Accused Of Killing Four People In Fredericton Makes Another Court Appearance

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Jul, 2019 08:29 PM

    FREDERICTON - A New Brunswick man accused of murdering four people, including two police officers, in a shooting spree last August was back in a Fredericton courtroom Friday.

     

    Matthew Raymond is charged with the first-degree murders of Fredericton police constables Sara Burns and Robb Costello and civilians Donnie Robichaud and Bobbie Lee Wright.

     

    Friday's appearance was to deal with pre-trial issues, but there is a ban on the publication of the details of what happened and what was said.

     

    Raymond arrived at the courthouse wearing the same orange, jail-issued clothing he has worn at each court appearance.

     

    He is accused of firing a long gun from his apartment window on Aug. 10, 2018, killing the two civilians as they loaded a car for a trip and the two police officers as they responded to the scene.

     

    Eight weeks have been set aside for the trial in the Court of Queen's Bench, starting Sept. 30.
