Man accused of killing Tina Fontaine to go directly to trial in Winnipeg
WINNIPEG — The man charged in the death of 15-year-old Tina Fontaine is going directly to trial.
The lawyer for Raymond Cormier, who is charged with second-degree murder, says the next step is to set a trial date.
A preliminary hearing had been scheduled, but Manitoba Justice confirmed it has signed a direct indictment in the case.
Tina’s body was found wrapped in a garbage bag in the Red River in Winnipeg in August 2014.
