The trial has wrapped up for one of three men, arrested in connection with a violent home invasion in Russell. In December of 2019, Russell RCMP were called to a report of a home invasion at an apartment complex, where a 32-year-old woman was assaulted while she slept. The three-day trial for 41-year-old Elroy Benn concluded in Brandon yesterday, where the judge reserved his decision to September 21st. His co-accused, 33-year-old Christopher Benn was sentenced to prison time for his role in the incident, while 31-year-old Harley Mecas stands trial in November.
