Oromocto man denies kidnapping, maiming wife
Adam Crowley, 29, remanded pending outcome of serious charges against him
An Oromocto man is going to trial on allegations that he maimed his wife and kidnapped her last month.
Adam Crowley, 29, of Tweedsmuir Court, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by telephone from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre on Monday to elect mode of trial and enter pleas on several serious, indictable charges.
Crowley is on remand at the jail until the case against him concludes.
He’s accused of committing an aggravated assault on his wife, Karimah Crowley, by maiming her; kidnapping her with the intent of confining her unlawfully; uttering threats to cause her death and/or bodily harm; and committing mischief by interfering with his wife’s lawful use of her property.
The charges allege events in Fredericton on Oct. 14.
Defence lawyer L.A. Henry said her client was electing to be tried in provincial court and pleading not guilty to all counts.
Judge Lucie Mathurin set the case over to Dec. 1 for a case-management conference to determine if the issues at trial can be narrowed.
Trial dates will be set at that time as well.
