Okemow murder case committed for trial
A preliminary inquiry hearing at Prince Albert Provincial Court has determined that a man charged with second degree murder, will stand trial on the exact same charge.
Wesley Naytowhow’s case was discussed on Tuesday, and will now proceed to a pre-trial hearing at Court of King’s Bench.
No dates have been set but will likely be heard in the coming months.
On August 21, 2023, RCMP responded to a report of an unresponsive man in Emma Lake. They found Philip Okemow’s body in an outdoor location at MacIntosh Point. Naytowhow was arrested last November and a not guilty plea followed in March.
