      EDMONTON - An Edmonton website owner accused of posting a video allegedly showing the dismemberment and slaying of a university student in Montreal has been ordered to stand trial.
       
      A judge has ruled Mark Marek will go to trial on a charge of publishing obscene matter.
       
      He is to appear in court next month to set a trial date.
       
      Police say Marek was operating the website called bestgore.com that posted a video titled "1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick'' in 2012.
