Missing House on the Prairie

Accused house thief released from custody

Dec 15, 2022 | 5:00 PM

The man accused of stealing a house in Crooked River earlier this year has been given a second shot at staying free until his case is resolved.

Matt Malley will be released from custody following a show cause hearing in Melfort Provincial Court this morning.

Malley, 32, had a bench warrant out for his arrest in October after failing to appear for one of his scheduled court hearings.

A show cause hearing allows an accused who is being held on remand a chance to convince a judge that they are safe to release and will make future court appearances as scheduled.

Malley will be released once he has paid his bail.
