NORTH BATTLEFORD – A man charged in connection to the murder of 20-year-old Damian Moosomin faces charges in a separate incident.
An agent for defence lawyer Brian Pfefferle waived 36-year-old Tye Partridge’s attendance in North Battleford Provincial Court Oct. 1 and requested an adjournment.
Partridge – who is charged with first-degree murder in Moosmin’s death – is also charged with forcible confinement, assault causing bodily harm, careless use of a firearm and breaching conditions in a another alleged crime. The court heard that Pfefferle and Senior Crown Prosecutor Jennifer Schmidt are in discussions for a possible resolution on those charges.
A preliminary hearing has already been set for Partridge in May 2022 on the murder charges. Others arrested for Moosomin’s murder include Denver Roy, Melissa Semaganis, Jannay Blackbird, Stormy Wapass-Semaganis, and a young offender who can’t be identified in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The charges against the accused haven’t been proven in court.
Moosomin was reported missing to police May 11, 2020, and his body was found five days later in the 1500 block of 105 Street in North Battleford.
