‘We still don’t have disclosure yet’
Defence counsel for murder suspect Mark Richard Foster Elley, 42, of Red Bank, says she needs to see Crown evidence before deciding on whether to request preliminary inquiry
The defence in a double-murder case has yet to receive any disclosure from the Crown file, but a prosecutor said Monday her office just received it and will be vetting it in short order.
Mark Richard Foster Elley, 42, of Route 123 in Red Bank, near Chipman, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by telephone Monday from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre.
He faces two counts of first-degree murder in the Nov. 25 deaths of Robert (Robbie) Wayne Waugh, 47, and Victoria King, 23.
The bodies of the victims were found in a SUV on Midland Road in Midland, near Chipman that morning.
