NORTH BATTLEFORD – A preliminary hearing in North Battleford Provincial Court for a Meota man accused of killing his wife has been adjourned to March 25.

Michael MacKay, 39, was arrested in Warman in March 2021 and charged with first-degree murder.

Police say they launched an investigation into 38-year-old Cindy MacKay’s death after health care professionals raised concerns to RCMP when Cindy was in the hospital. Police didn’t provide details of the concerns. Cindy MacKay was taken to hospital in medical distress on Feb. 7, 2020, and died five days later.

MacKay was released on bail in April 2021.

The first-degree charge against Michael McKay hasn’t been proven in court.
