HALIFAX– A Nova Scotia judge ruled Friday there is enough evidence for Victoria Henneberry and Blake Leggette to stand trial on the first-degree murder charges in the death of Inuk student Loretta Saunders.
In her ruling Friday morning in a Halifax court, Justice Anne Derrick ruled there is enough evidence to try the two of first degree murder. Henneberry wept in court when as Derrick read her ruling.
Saunders, 26, went missing last February. Her body was discovered in a wooded area along the Trans Canada Highway in New Brunswick. She was attending St. Mary’s University in Halifax, N.S. and studying violence against Indigenous women.
Henneberry, 28, and Leggette, 26, were charged with her murder shortly after.
