Trial set for Prince Albert man accused of killing son

Dec 30, 2014 | 5:10 AM

A series of meetings before a judge have finally led to a trial date for a man accused of killing his son and shooting at others on his farm outside Prince Albert last year.

Larry McDougald, 67, was arrested after a confrontation on Oct. 29, 2013. It allegedly involved his son Terry McDougald, 45, and two other men.

Three pre-trial dates at Prince Albert’s Court of Queen’s Bench have led to a two-week long trial starting Sept. 28, 2015.

Terry was shot to death. According to RCMP statements at the time, Larry proceeded to fire the rifle at a second man on the property and then pointed the weapon at a third man.

The RCMP previously stated this came as a result of a property dispute.

Months after the incident the Crown prosecutor laid more charges and upgraded a second-degree murder charge to first-degree.

Larry has been in custody since his arrest in late 2013.

Larry was initially represented by Ron Parchomchuk, and then legal aid.

However, his defense counsel at trial will be Saskatoon lawyer George Combe.

Cameron Scott is the Crown prosecutor.
