PRINCE ALBERT – A trial has been set for next year for a former Saskatchewan Mountie accused of killing a 26-year-old man.

His trial will begin on Dec. 4, 2023, at Court of Queen’s Bench in Prince Albert, Sask.

Braden Herman’s body was found on May 11, 2021, in an isolated area of Little Red River Park on the outskirts of Prince Albert.

Herman, who was a 32-year member of the RCMP when he was arrested, has since resigned and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Crown attorney William Burge has said the accused is to be tried by a judge and jury.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 26, 2022.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said the trial was set for December of this year.
