The second man charged in the murder of Troy Napope made his first appearance at Prince Albert Provincial Court Tuesday morning.

Skylar Patrick Bird appeared behind the glass, charged with first degree murder in connection to the Troy Napope murder.

He will next appear March 17 at Prince Albert Provincial Court.

Bird had been scheduled for a hearing that day on his previous arson and forcible confinement charges related to the case. The previous charges will be withdrawn, and his next appearance will deal with the new first degree murder charge. 

The burned out husk of Napope’s car had been found north of Prince Albert, on Whitfield Rd.
