Bail denied for two men accused of threatening seniors at Herb Basset home

The two men accused of threatening staff and residents at a Prince Albert long term care home last month, will stay behind bars after both were denied bail.

Ralph Henderson, 38, was denied bail at a hearing Thursday at Prince Albert Provincial Court. Ramsay Halkett, the co-accused, received the same decision Wednesday at a separate hearing in the same courtroom.

On the morning of Sept. 29, police were called to Herb Bassett home for a complaint of two men outside the building with an edged weapon. A knife was later found at the scene by police, and the two men were arrested without incident.

A witness, at the time, told paNOW the men attempted to enter the building. One of the men said they would kill everyone inside, the witness said.
