Triple homicide case to be tried by judge and jury

A man accused of murdering his parents and young son, has waived his right to a preliminary hearing and elected to be tried by judge and jury.

That was the outcome of a hearing Monday morning at Prince Albert Provincial Court.

Nathaniel Carrier, 28, is facing three counts of first-degree murder, as well as one of attempted murder in relation to his young daughter. The case dates back to March 28, 2020.

The election by Carrier’s lawyer Terra Lennox-Zepp, represents the first sign in nearly 10 months of the case proceeding and comes after repeated calls from both a judge and the family for progress and resolution.
