Trial wraps up in teen stabbing case; decision set for December
Closing arguments have been heard in the case involving a teenage boy accused of stabbing a girl at a rural bush party last year.
The boy, who was 16 at the time, is charged with aggravated assault and carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose in connection with an incident in the RM of Buckland last October. His trial wrapped up Thursday at Prince Albert Provincial Court, following three days of evidence in which court heard that approximately 200 teens turned up for the party. Several fights took place and the party ended with the then-17-year-old girl being taken to hospital with multiple stab wounds in the early-morning hours of Oct. 15, 2017.
The names of the accused, or the alleged victim and underage witnesses in the matter cannot be published.
The defence declined to call any evidence at the trial. The Crown wrapped up its case Wednesday.
