    HALIFAX — A man accused of killing an off-duty Nova Scotia police officer has been released on bail.

    Garnier is facing a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Truro police officer Catherine Campbell.
     
    The 28-year-old Halifax resident was also charged with interfering with a dead body after Campbell's remains were found in September 2015 near the base of an overpass in Halifax.
     
    Campbell served as a Truro police constable for six years.
     
    Garnier's trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 20, 2017.
