A preliminary hearing has been set for a Prince Albert man accused of murdering his three-year-old half-sister.
Fabian Morin Jr., 21, is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the April 9, 2020, death of Emily McCallum-Daniels.
According to Prince Albert Police, they were called to a home in the 800 block of 17 Street West to a report of a child in cardiac arrest. Paramedics from Parkland Ambulance took the girl to Victoria Hospital and she was then taken to a Saskatoon children’s hospital where she was pronounced deceased later that day.
Morin was out on bail on aggravated assault charges from another incident at the time of McCallum-Daniels’ murder.
Morin was arrested by Sandy Bay RCMP and charged with aggravated assault for a November 2019 incident. Five others were also arrested and charged, including four youths.
Sandy Bay RCMP say they responded to a call Nov. 21, 2019, about numerous people threatening to injure a man in his home. When police arrived they found a 26-year-old man with serious injuries. Police say windows were broken and furniture and appliances damaged.
The man was given first aid and taken by air ambulance to a Saskatoon hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.
Morin was arrested in April and charged with second-degree murder. He was denied bail in June on the second-degree murder charge and remanded in custody.
Morin’s preliminary hearing on the murder charge is scheduled for Nov. 9 to 13. A preliminary hearing is held to help the judge determine if there is enough evidence to take the case to trial.
The charges against Morin haven’t been proven in court.
