Over five weeks have been set aside for a murder trial in Prince Albert that involves a Vietnamese family and multiple victims.

As per discussions during Friday’s pre-trial hearing at Court of King’s Bench, Thanh Nguyen’s trial will run March 2 to April 13, 2026.

In the early morning hours of May 6, 2023, Prince Albert Police were called to a home in the 1100 block of Second Street East.

Inside the home, a 35-year-old woman was found deceased. A female youth was also found and taken to Victoria Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Nguyen, who was 45 at the time, was subsequently charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault. Not guilty pleas were entered in August, 2023.
