A 34-year-old man whose Moncton-area residence was the scene of a fatal home invasion this year faces a series of weapons and drug charges. 

Andrew Minifie, 34, faces 18 charges that allege offences occurring on Feb. 8.

That’s two days after RCMP say a man was killed during a home invasion at an Isaiah Road home in Berry Mills that property records show Minifie owns.

Police say one of the three people who forcibly entered the home was killed during an “altercation” with one of the two residents, and that two others fled.

Awaiting more evidence

Minifie’s case was back in Moncton provincial court Friday for an election, choosing his mode of trial, on the charges. 

Minifie wasn’t present in court, but a lawyer appeared by phone on his behalf. 

Lawyer Stan MacDonald said the Crown had only partially disclosed its evidence. Judge Paul Duffie adjourned the case to give time for that evidence to be disclosed.
