2 men arrested with murder suspect Tyler Noel back in court
Zachary Holden and Bradley Bonnell appeared in Moncton provincial court Thursday morning
Zachary Holden, 18, and Bradley John Bonnell, 20, appeared in Moncton provincial court Thursday morning, but the defence requested more time and both men will appear in court again later in March.
- Marissa Shephard appears in court on 1st-degree murder, arson charges
- Devin Morningstar deemed fit to stand trial for murder of Baylee Wylie
Wylie's body was discovered in a residence on Sumac Street in Moncton by firefighters on Dec. 18 after extinguishing an early morning fire at the residence.
RCMP have described the death of Wylie as "extremely violent."
Holden is charged with possessing a stolen firearm, assisting fugitive Tyler Noel, being unlawfully in a dwelling house, and flight from police and dangerous driving.
Bonnell is charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact, in connection with the death of Wylie, by assisting Noel to escape and being unlawfully in a dwelling house.
Defence requests 2 week adjournment
On the day the three men were arrested, RCMP were called to a break-in at a cottage in Elgin which led police to Petitcodiac where Noel, Holden and Bonnell were apprehended.
On Thursday morning, both Holden and Bonnell appeared in Moncton provincial court.
The defence lawyer representing Bonnell told the court two more weeks were needed to review the disclosure received from the Crown.
Both Bonnell and Holden remain in custody and are scheduled to be back in court at 9:30 a.m. on March 17.
On March 1, the RCMP arrested Marissa Shephard, 20, who had been sought on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree murder and arson in connection with the death of Wylie.
The third suspect in the murder of Wylie, Devin Morningstar, 18, of Moncton, has also been charged with first-degree murder and arson. He's due back in court March 7 to set a trial date.
Noel has a court hearing set for March 10 to confirm the date for his preliminary inquiry.
