Premier Stephen McNeil will unveil his new cabinet today as the new ministers are sworn-in at Pier 21.
McNeil has a smaller number of people to pick from as his majority was cut sharply in the May 30th election…and two of his former ministers were defeated. A third didn’t run again.
A man convicted of murdering his girlfriend four years ago in Timberlea, and then burning her body, has been granted a new trial by the Court of Appeal.
The justices ruled the Crown did not prove that Paul Trevor Calnen intended to murder Reita Louise Jordan in their Timberlea home in 2013.
Calnen denied he killed Jordan, telling police they had been fighting the day she died. He said she took a swing at him, missed and fell down the basement stairs. He remains in prison for now.
