Case of two accused of murdering Loretta Saunders adjourned to March 19
HALIFAX – Two people charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Halifax university student Loretta Saunders have had their case adjourned until March 19.
Twenty-five-year-old Blake Leggette and 28-year-old Victoria Henneberry were charged after Saunders’s body was found earlier this week in New Brunswick.
Police allege the 26-year-old woman was killed two weeks ago at a Halifax apartment she once shared with the two accused.
Henneberry and Leggette were charged earlier with stealing Saunders’s 2000 Toyota Celica, which was found Feb. 18 in Harrow, Ont., south of Windsor.
Saunders’s body was found Wednesday in a median off Route 2 of the Trans-Canada Highway west of Moncton, N.B.
Police have not given details of how Saunders died.
