A preliminary hearing, into the death of a Belleville woman, will begin this fall.
32 year old Elizabeth Nugent was killed in a downtown Burlington apartment in October 2014.
42 year old Malcolm Copeland was charged with 2nd degree murder in the case.
A preliminary hearing that was to have started last November (2015), was postponed after Copeland requested another lawyer.
Now with new counsel in place, Metroland Media is reporting the case hearing will start October 19, 2016, almost two years after Nugent’s death.
Liz Nugent was a freelance designer, who was a graduate of Moira Secondary and Loyalist College.
