Dates set for ex-Mountie’s first-degree murder trial in P.A.

A former Saskatchewan RCMP officer is to go on trial for first-degree murder in Prince Albert, but not until late next year.

According to The Canadian Press, Bernie Herman’s trial is to begin in Prince Albert Court of Queen’s Bench on Dec. 4, 2023.

Herman, 54, is accused of killing 26-year-old Braden Herman, whose body was found on May 11, 2021 in an isolated area on the outskirts of Prince Albert.

Despite having the same last name, the men are not related.

Bernie Herman, who was a 32-year member of the RCMP when he was arrested, has since resigned from the force and pleaded not guilty to the charge.
