Preliminary Hearing Set For Bathurst Police Officers On Michel Vienneau Manslaughter Case

The Canadian Press, 22 Mar, 2016 12:34 PM
    BATHURST, N.B. — Twelve days have been set aside for a preliminary hearing for two New Brunswick police officers charged in the shooting death of a Bathurst businessman.
     
    Constables Patrick Bulger and Mathieu Boudreau of the Bathurst City Police each face charges of manslaughter with a weapon, assault with a weapon and unlawfully pointing a firearm.
     
    The 51-year-old victim, Michel Vienneau, was shot in his vehicle near the Bathurst train station in January 2015.
     
    Police have said the shooting occurred during a drug investigation.
     
    An investigation by Nova Scotia RCMP revealed that Vienneau, who owned an electronics store, was not involved in criminal activity.
     
    The preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 23-26, Sept. 6-9 and Oct. 4-7.
     
    Bulger and Boudreau have elected to be tried by a judge and jury.
