A Fort Hope man is going to stand trial on manslaughter in relation to the December 2018 death of 17-year-old Braiden Jacob.
Jonathon Yellowhead was in court Tuesday and heard the Ontario court judge say there wasn’t enough evidence for him to stand trial on the original second-degree murder charge.
People leaving the courtroom were visibly upset and crying.
Police say Braiden Jacob’s body was discovered in the Chapples Park area on December 9th, 2018 by a passerby.
Jacob had been reported missing by Thunder Bay police on December 6th and was last seen heading to the Limbrick Street area.
The 17-year-old was in the city for appointments for service his home community didn’t offer.
