The case of a Pukatawagan man, accused of killing another man from that community last summer, will go to trial early next year.

On June 8, 2018, RCMP say an 18-year-old man was pronounced dead, after being taken to the Pukatawagan Nursing Station.

20-year-old Nikosis Bighetty was arrested last October, and charged with Manslaughter.

Bighetty was back in The Pas Provincial Court yesterday (THURS), where he will return to be tried, by judge alone, from March 16th to the 18th.
