The case of a woman accused of killing a McLeod Lake man is continuing to wind through the courts.
The matter is Madison Reid, 42, is scheduled to be brought before a judicial case manager on Oct. 5 to fix a date.
Reid is facing a second degree murder charge in the July 3 death of Bruce Norman Archambault, 56, and had originally been scheduled to appear on July 20.
The two apparently met for the first time at a beach party at McLeod Lake on the night of Archambault's death. Friends at the party claimed that Archambault was retrieving a fishing rod from his nearby home to loan to Reid, who was camping at the beach.
At 3 a.m., Reid called police to say she had been assaulted, and directed police to Archambault's home, said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, spokesman for the RCMP.
There, investigators found Archambault suffering from severe injuries, apparently sustained in a beating. Archambault died in hospital soon after. Police seized an object as a potential weapon. Reid was arrested that morning and later charged.
