The arraignment of a man charged in a double murder in Hanna has been adjourned for roughly two months as his defense attempts to have his client’s committal for first degree murder quashed.
Curtis Rideout was charged in March of last year with second-degree murder in relation to the death of his father Bruce Rideout and first degree murder in the death of Linette Euteneier.
Rideout was in Court of Queen’s Bench in January for his preliminary inquiry. There, Judge Grieve ruled that Curtis Rideout be committed to trial as charged.
Rideout was to be arraigned on Thursday, March 7, however defense for Rideout, Hugh Somerville, indicated he is planning to make an application to have his committal quashed. He said all of his arguments were already on the record, being introduced in the preliminary hearing.
The next court date for Rideout is May 2.
