NORTH BATTLEFORD – A preliminary hearing for a Meota man accused of killing his wife was scheduled to reconvene Tuesday but it was adjourned to April 12.
Michael MacKay, 39, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 38-year-old Cindy Mackay.
Saskatoon lawyer Nicholas Stooshinoff represents MacKay. North Battleford Crown Oryn Holm is prosecuting the case.
Police started investigating Cindy MacKay’s death after health care professionals raised concerns to RCMP when she was in the hospital after she was taken to hospital in medical distress Feb. 7, 2020. She died five days later. Police didn’t say what were the hospital staff’s concerns.
A year later, Michael MacKay was arrested in Warman and charged with first-degree murder. He was released on bail in April 2021.
The charge against Michael McKay hasn’t been proven in court.
