Family & supporters of Samuel Bird rallied outside the Edmonton Law Courts on Monday morning as his accused killer was scheduled for a bail hearing that didn’t happen.
38 year old Bryan Farrell remains in custody and was not brought before the Alberta Court of Justice for his first appearance on a list of charges including second-degree murder, interfering with a body, arson and assaulting police officers. The charges were laid last week shortly before police found Bird’s body in a rural area south of Stony Plain.
According to court records, Farrell is also accused of assaulting two people a week before Bird’s appearance — a youth and a 20-year-old, using bear spray on three undercover police officers, insurance fraud, possessing weapons including a shotgun and a collapsible baton, and conveying a death threat against Samuel Bird’s mother to a third party. None of the charges have been proven in court.
Farrells next court date is November 10.
