Prince Albert RCMP officer faces murder charge
A longtime member of the Saskatchewan RCMP is now facing a charge of first degree murder, in connection to the death of a 26-year-old man Tuesday night.
Bernie Herman, 52, is scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday morning at Prince Albert Provincial Court.
Early Tuesday evening, police were called to a wooded area within city limits for a report of a deceased man. It’s there that they found the body of Braden Herman.
Police confirmed Bernie Herman is a 32-year-member of the RCMP, and while previously saying the victim and the accused were known to each other, have more recently explained they are not related.
