A pretrial is in the books for men accused of killing a Pelican Narrows teen.
On May 2, Hilliard Sewap, Jr., 17, was found in medical distress in a home in the community. He was pronounced dead at the local health centre after Mounties were called to a disturbance at a reserve home.
Following that, five men and two youths were charged with second-degree murder in Sewap’s death.
All have since been released on bail. In addition to that, the Crown prosecutor has stated it will seek an adult sentence for the two boys under 18.
Marcus Sewap, Brendan McCallum, Trevor Charles, Robbie Custer, Cody Custer, and the two youths had a hearing in Prince Albert court Thursday morning.
A pretrial is set for October 8.
Sewap had been set to graduate along with his sister before he was killed.
