Trial to commence for gang leader murder

Jan 5, 2011 | 5:02 PM

Tristan Lee Raphael, 29, will stand trial for the second-degree murder of former Indian Posse gang leader Daniel Wolfe, a judge has decided.

On Wednesday, provincial court judge S.D. Loewen decided in a preliminary hearing that there was enough evidence to send Raphael to trial.

In January 2010, a fight broke out at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary outside of Prince Albert in a common area between 10 men. Wolfe and two others were stabbed in the incident, though Wolfe was the only one to die.

Raphael and five others were accused in the murder of Wolfe and the attempted murder of the others.

Loewen decide to send Raphael to trial for the second-degree murder charge and one of the attempted murder charges.

Canadian law prohibits the publication of evidence presented during a preliminary hearing.

Raphael is the last of the group to appear in court and the only one to plead not-guilty and go to trial for the incident.

Raphael elected to be tried by a jury and a date for trial will be selected later in the year.
