Two men charged with murder ordered to stand trial

Two Nanaimo men charged in connection with the murder of Brittany Baird will be in court Aug. 1 to fix a date for a Supreme Court trial.

Two Nanaimo men charged in connection with the murder of Brittany Baird are in court Aug. 1 to fix a date for their Supreme Court trial.

Christopher James Robinson and Marcus Brandon Parry were charged with second-degree murder several days after Baird was found dead on Milford Crescent near Selby Street in May, 2011.

A five-day preliminary inquiry, held to determine if the Crown has enough evidence to justify a trial, wrapped up June 27.

Crown lawyer Frank Dubenski said at the end of the five days, there was a consent committal, where defence lawyers agreed there was enough evidence to go to trial.

The men are scheduled to stand trial by judge and jury.
