Chipman double-homicide case delayed over evidence disclosure

cbc.ca

The double-homicide case against a Chipman man has been delayed for a third time due to the defence not receiving a large amount of evidence from the Crown. The accused, Mark Elley, faces two counts of first-degree murder. Elley was arrested in January for the deaths of Robert Waugh and Victoria King, whose bodies were found in a burned SUV in November. The preliminary hearing dates were postponed again as the defence awaits evidence disclosure. Crown prosecutor Jennifer Cooper noted that there are 300 documents to review, making the process time-consuming. The next court date is set for March 24, when the Crown will update on the evidence disclosure timeline.
