The man accused of killing missing Saskatoon woman Karina Wolfe has been found fit to stand trial.
Crown prosecutor Frank Impey confirms it was the result of a psychiatric assessment completed on Jerry Franklin Constant. The report was ordered during Constant’s first court appearance on Nov. 30.
He briefly appeared again, this time in person, in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Tuesday. Sheriffs surrounded the glass-enclosed prisoner’s box from where Constant was told his case would be adjourned until Dec. 22.
The 33-year-old man was charged with second degree and offering an indignity to a human body after he led police to Wolfe’s remains last month. The 20-year-old woman had been missing since 2010 and was found in a marshy area on the northwest corner of the city.
Constant was allegedly acting erratically when he voluntarily walked into the Saskatoon Police Headquarters and provided a story of what happened to Wolfe, prompting the Crown to request the psychiatric assessment.
