Preliminary Inquiry Resumes In Case Involving Alleged Plot To Attack Halifax Mall

IANS, 08 Jul, 2015 11:01 AM
    HALIFAX — A preliminary inquiry for two people accused of plotting to attack a Halifax shopping mall has resumed.
     
    Twenty-three-year-old Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath of Geneva, Ill., and 21-year-old Randall Steven Shepherd of Halifax are each charged with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit arson, illegal possession of dangerous weapons and making a threat through social media.
     
    None of the allegations has been proven in court.
     
    This is the second day of three days that are scheduled for the inquiry, which is subject to a publication ban that prohibits reporting what is heard in Halifax provincial court.
     
    Both defence lawyers have said outside court there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
     
    The Crown alleges there was a plot to attack the Halifax Shopping Centre on Valentine's Day with a 19-year-old man, who was found dead in his Halifax home.
