NORTH BATTLEFORD – Wade Frenchman, a 31-year-old man from Moosomin First Nation who is accused of killing three people, made a brief appearance in court Wednesday.
Frenchman, appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court by CCTV from the correctional center. Clad in a bright orange short-sleeved jail-issue T-shirt, he stood throughout the proceedings with his head hung low.
Defence counsel Chris Gratton asked for an adjournment, telling the court that he is seeking more disclosure from the Crown. Judge Michelle Baldwin adjourned the case to Oct. 17 and Frenchman is expected to appear by telephone or CCTV from jail.
Frenchman is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 25-year-old Alyssa LeCaine, 20-year-old Daphne Bear, and 35-year-old Tyler Mooswa.
Sask. RCMP Major Crimes arrested Frenchman in North Battleford three months ago for the June 4, 2023, murder of Tyler Mooswa on Moosomin First Nation.
Then on Sept. 5, RCMP arrested Frenchman at the correctional centre and charged him with the Dec. 24, 2021, double murder of LeCaine and Bear. The two women were found deceased after a house fire on the 1000 block of 108 Street in North Battleford.
