GORE BAY—Lawyer Susan Jane von Achten appeared with her client Prince Graham in the Ontario Superior Court on November 22. Mr. Graham was arrested January 16, 2023 and charged with first-degree murder for the death of Brandon Brooks who died on April 5, 2022 after having been shot on February 26, 2022 in M’Chigeeng First Nation. The accused was at large for over 11 months.
“The accused fled the scene prior to police arrival which initiated an expansive search of identified residences and associated vehicles throughout the communities on Manitoulin Island,” police said.
The accused was denied bail on January 27, 2023 and a bail review date is set for January 17-19, 2024. A trial date has not been set as the Crown has not provided availability at this time. Earlier dates were canvassed and offered and Crown advised they were not available.
The accused will appear in court again on Tuesday, November 28 at 9:30 am.
