A two-day preliminary inquiry will begin today for Curtis Wayne Sagmoen.

While a publication ban has been imposed on the provincial court proceedings, it can be reported that the inquiry is set around an assault charge and an assault causing bodily harm charge.

Sagmoen will also have another matter before the supreme court today to fix a date for trial on several charges stemming from an alleged violent incident involving a woman in August 2017 near Falkland.

Sagmoen was last in court Nov. 14 where his bail was denied on the charges stemming from the August incident near Falkland.

Sagmoen's name has been in national headlines ever since the body of 18-year-old Tracy Genereaux was found on his family's farm.

Sagmoen has not been charged in relation to the discovery of Genereaux body.

Sagmoen timeline

Arrested in early September, 2017, Sagmoen faced six charges in connection with an Aug. 28 incident near Falkland where a woman alleges she was threatened with a gun before escaping. The charges include intentionally discharging a firearm and uttering threats.

On Oct. 13, 2017, police issued a public appeal for any information on the man involved in the Aug. 28 incident.
On Oct. 19, 2017, police launched a massive search of a farm on Salmon River Road near Silver Creek. The farm is owned by Sagmoen's parents.
On Oct. 21, police confirm they found human remains at the farm.
On Nov. 1, 2017, RCMP confirmed the remains on the farm were those of 18-year-old Tracy Genereaux, who went missing earlier in the year. Police are calling her death suspicious, but have not connected Sagmoen to Genereaux in any way.
On Dec. 15, 2017, CTV news linked Sagmoen to an alleged violent incident from January 2013 at a townhouse in Maple Ridge.
On Jan. 31, 2018 Sagmoen faced new charges of assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon, stemming from an incident on Aug. 10, 2017, and assault stemming from an incident that occurred on or about July 1, 2017.
