The man who was at the center of an Amber Alert in February made a quick court appearance in La Ronge via video link on Friday.
The man is charged with murder, kidnapping, among other serious charges after his then-girlfriend’s daughter was taken from a La Ronge-area home in February.
That girl’s boyfriend – 17 year old Dustin Bird – was shot to death before she was taken. Luckily she was found safe by Manitoba RCMP.
Budd has been in custody since he surrendered to police after a 12-hour standoff in Sturgeon Landing. His Friday appearance was by video link from Regina.
He’s charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping with a weapon, break and enter and uttering threats.
His file has been set ahead until October 5.
