Jeffrey murder trial
postponed until next year
Mark King Jeffrey, accused of killing a 13-year-old Inuksuk High School student
almost two years ago, won't know his trial date until next year.
Justice Robert Kilpatrick accepted a joint request from Crown and defence lawyers
on Sept. 2, to wait until January before setting a trial date for the first-degree
murder charges against Jeffrey.
A Crown lawyer said outside of court that they were waiting on the results
of DNA testing.
Jeffrey was charged in connection with the death of Jennifer Naglingniq, whose
body was found in her home on Dec. 6, 2002.
The tall 23-year-old man remained silent during his brief court appearance
last week, looking pale, and wearing a dark blue sweatsuit, with laceless sneakers.
He had a dark red scab, about the size of a toonie, along his hairline.
His next court date is set for Jan. 13, 2005.

Accused trafficker
will finish university
A Nunavut judge has allowed an Iqaluit resident accused of trafficking drugs
to complete his final year of university in Ontario, before making any future
court appearances.
Andrew MacDonald, 29, was charged with possessing marijuana for the purposes
of trafficking in July, related to an incident between December, 2003, and January,
2004.
Wearing a starch-white dress shirt and pinned-striped black pants, MacDonald
appeared in court in Iqaluit last week, asking that the court permit him to
return to Trent University in Peterborough, Ont., for his last year in an undergraduate
program in sociology.
On Sept. 1, Justice Robert Kilpatrick told MacDonald he can move back to Peterborough,
but has to report weekly by phone to RCMP in Iqaluit, confirming that he still
lives there.
Court documents don't say when MacDonald is expected back in court.
