VANCOUVER — A trial date has been set in B.C. Supreme Court for a man accused of killing four women in northern B.C.

The trial of Cody Legebokoff will begin on Sept. 9, 2013, in Prince George.

Legebokoff is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Prince George-area women who disappeared in the region starting in 2009.

Legebokoff, a Fort St. James native, was arrested Nov. 27, 2010, when an RCMP officer checked a suspicious vehicle that had just pulled onto a Prince George-area highway from an unused logging road.

When the vehicle’s tracks were retraced along the snowy trail, officers found body of 15-year-old Loren Donn Leslie, just hours after she had been killed. He was later linked to the deaths of Jill Stuchenko and Cynthia Maas, both 35.

The body of the alleged fourth victim, 23-year-old Natasha Montgomery, has never been found. — CP
