Bacon case back in court

Another pre-trial conference was held Friday for the three men facing murder charges in the 2011 fatal shooting of Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna.

Jujhar Khun-Khun, Jason Thomas McBride and Michael Hunter Jones have been charged with murder and attempted murder in the flagrant, mid-day execution of the well-known gangster.

A pre-trial conference is held between the Crown and defence lawyers to discuss an upcoming trial. Two previous pre-trial conferences were held for the three accused in 2015 and a third was held last month.

The trial is set to begin on Nov. 7, 2016, more than five years after the murder in front of the Delta Grand Hotel.

Security upgrades are currently underway at the Kelowna courthouse. There is speculation these upgrades are in preparation for the high-profile trial.
