Bail hearing adjourned for youth accused of killing Hannah Leflar

Dozens of people wearing purple were in youth court on May 21 as one of the teenscharged with killing 16-year-old Hannah Leflar made his case for bail.

The court heard three hours of evidence before the judge adjourned the matter to May 26.

The evidence, which is subject to a publication ban, caused some in court to sob quietly and gasp in surprise.

In January, two 16-year-old boys were charged with first degree murder in relation to the killing of Leflar.

She was found inside a home onthe 400 block of Garnet Street N.

The two teens charged cannot be named because of their age.

Earlier this month, Leflar's family started a petition against bail for the accused. It's received more than 10,000 signatures.

The other boy charged in the case has a preliminary hearing set for November.

The Crown has announced it will seek an adult sentencefor both of the teens, if convicted.
