Hit and run in Dieppe

Four young men were taken to hospital after a hit and run in Dieppe early yesterday morning.

Coadiac RCMP say the men, in their twenties, were run down from behind as they were walking on a sidewalk on Champlain Street. Their injuries were described as minor, although two were unconcious when they were taken to hospital.

RCMP say they have no suspects at this time and are reviewing video surveillance from businesses in the area.

Accused murderer’s mother found unfit for trial

The mother of accused murderer Marissa Shephard has been deemed unfit for trial on theft charges, according to CBC.

50 year old Christine Helene Carson stole cigarettes from gas stations in the Moncton area. She was sent for a psychiatric evaluation and has been found unfit for trial or to be held criminally responsible.

The review board will now decide her fate…whether she’ll be committed to a psychiatric institution or be allowed to live in the community, either with supervision or not.
