WEYBURN — A show-cause hearing is underway in Weyburn Provincial Court for the man charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of a Weyburn woman in September.
The inquiry, which will determine whether Chris Fahlman receives bail, is happening in Court of King's Bench in Weyburn. It has been moved up to Court of King's from provincial court because Fahlman is facing a murder charge. His previous appearances were in provincial court and his case will return to provincial court once the bail hearing is finished.
The evidence presented and other information supplied during the hearing is covered by a publication ban.
Fahlman is charged with one count each of second-degree murder and intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person.
Fahlman had been charged with one count each of manslaughter with a firearm, careless use of a firearm, carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, and occupying a motor vehicle knowing there is a firearm inside. Those charges have been stayed.
Background: Fahlman is charged in connection with the death of 44-year-old Tanya Myers near Weyburn. Myers was a passenger in one of two vehicles the RCMP says were struck by bullets while travelling on Highway 39 on Sept. 12.
The RCMP says Fahlman and Myers were not known to each other.
