Two of the three men accused of murdering a 20-year-old man off the Coquihalla Highway in the spring of 2017 remain in custody, while the third is out on bail as they await trial.
Michael Bonin's body was found on Peers Creek Road, just east of Hope, on April 20, 2017. Almost nine months later, 27-year-old Jared Jorgenson, 26-year-old Ryan Watt and 20-year-old Joshua Fleurant were arrested and charged with Bonin's murder.
Bonin's mother Annette says her son and Fleurant had been friends since they were 13, but she didn't know Jorgenson or Watt.
In June, Jorgenson was released from custody on $35,000 bail, with a curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The Crown is seeking a direct indictment in the case, which would see the case proceed directly to a Supreme Court trial, skipping the usual preliminary inquiry that requires the Crown show it has a strong enough case to proceed.
On Wednesday, Crown prosecutor Colin Forsyth told Justice Cathaline Heinrichs the assistant deputy attorney general is still reviewing the matter, and has requested more information. A direct indictment, a rare move, must be approved by the attorney general.
If the direct indictment is not approved, a preliminary inquiry could take several weeks.
The case was put over to Sept. 27 when the Crown expects to have a decision from the assistant deputy attorney general. From there, preliminary inquiry or trial dates can be scheduled.
