A decision has yet to be given for Morgen Lambert-Bouma, who stands accused of killing 54-year-old Owen Cardinal in 2019 in Kelly Lake, with the matter adjourned to April 28 for a fix date for decision.
A trial was held this week in Dawson Creek Supreme Court, with Justice Marguerite Church adjourning the matter to review the case.
Lambert-Bouma was arrested Aug. 16, 2019, after RCMP were called to a home after reports of an assault.
After arriving at the scene, officers found Cardinal, 54, fatally wounded, along with Lambert-Bouma. Both were known to each other, according to police. Lambert-Bouma was taken in custody and charged with second-degree murder.
In March 2022, Church ruled Lambert-Bouma was mentally fit to stand trial, though he was ordered to stay in custody at the Coquitlam Forensic Psychiatric Hospital during the proceedings.
