A new court date has been set for a Brandon man, charged in the death of a 2-month-old girl on the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation.

In January of 2016, Virden RCMP received a report of an infant in distress at a home on the reserve, and she later died in hospital.

After a lengthy investigation, 32-year-old Kiefer Mecas was arrested this January, and charged with Manslaughter.

He’ll return to Brandon Court on December 12th.
