Accused cop killer in court

The man accused of killing an Abbotsford police officer last year appeared in court Thursday.

Oscar Ferdinand Arfmann is charged with first-degree murder following the Nov. 6, 2017, gunfight that followed a truck theft from a Mount Lehman Road business.

When Arfmann was blocked in, he opened fire.

Const. John Davidson died in hospital that day after he was shot trying to apprehend the shooter. 

Arfmann has remained in custody since the shooting.

An eight-week trial is scheduled for January.
