A trial has been ordered for a La Ronge man charged with first-degree murder.

Twenty-one-year-old Jimmy David Douglas Ross is accused of killing 23-year-old Jason Charles, also of La Ronge.

On September 18th, RCMP officers were called out to a report of an unconscious man at a reserve home.

When they got there, they discovered Charles was, in fact, dead.

He has elected to be tried by judge and jury and also has chosen to forego a preliminary hearing.
