A second-degree murder case involving a fatal domestic dispute has been adjourned until later this month.

Vanessa Poucette, 46, from Stoney Nakoda Nation, was arrested and charged with the second-degree murder of Brennon Riley Twoyoungmen last October after RCMP responded to reports of a stabbing. Officers located Twoyoungmen outside the house, where he was declared dead on the scene.

RCMP Major Crime South Unit took over the investigation with assistance from the Cochrane RCMP.

Poucette appeared in court last November, where the hearing was adjourned and the preliminary hearing is now scheduled for Cochrane Provincial court later this month.
