Man Goes To Trial Today In St Andrews

A 27-year-old man will return to court today to answer to a charged of first-degree murder in the death of an infant.


Rodney Stuart Miller of Moores Mills, near St Stephen was charged in February in connection with the death of a baby in January.

Sarah Marie Russell, 19, is charged with manslaughter and with being an accessory to the death.

RCMP found the body of an infant in woods near a home where the couple lived.

Russell will appear for a preliminary hearing in November.

The case has reopened an emotional wound in Charlotte County after a trial last year where a woman received a conditional sentence for disposing of her newborn in 2007.
