  • Doors Shut To Public At Murder Trial Of Man Accused Of Killing Off-Duty Cop
HALIFAX — A pre-trial hearing for a Halifax man accused of murdering an off-duty police officer will be held behind closed doors.
 
Justice Josh Arnold agreed Thursday to the Crown's unusual request to close the courtroom in the case of twenty-nine-year-old Christopher Calvin Garnier.
 
Garnier is charged with second-degree murder and interfering with human remains in the death of Truro, N.S., police officer Catherine Campbell.
 
The proceedings this week in Nova Scotia Supreme Court were already under a publication ban.
 
Garnier's trial is set to begin in November.
 
Campbell's remains were found in September 2015 near Halifax's Macdonald bridge.
