The lawyer for a man accused of killing a 21-year-old Elsipogtog First Nation man says he’s still awaiting disclosure of the Crown’s evidence in the case.
Abdel Alcheikh Houri, 27, of Ottawa faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with the Oct. 13 death of Hayven Francis in Elsipogtog.
The case was back in Moncton provincial court Tuesday with Alcheikh Houri appearing by video from a jail and his Ottawa lawyer, Ewan Lyttle, appearing by phone.
Lyttle told the court disclosure was requested Oct. 22 and he’s been told the “first wave” is coming soon.
“I’m advised that it’s quite a substantial amount of material, a lot of video,” Lyttle said.
His comments were relayed to Alcheikh Houri by an Arabic interpreter in the courtroom.
