Pairs of suspects in a couple of local homicide cases are scheduled to enter their elections and pleas next month.

Cole Gerald Cattleman, 25, and Chaz Joseph Cattleman, 22, both of Maskwacis, have been charged with the second degree murder of Skylar Currie, as well as aggravated assault. Chaz was also charged with being unlawfully at large from parole.

Currie, 20, also of Maskwacis, passed away from injuries sustained after he was attacked in Montana First Nation on July 24.

While the two suspects fled, they allegedly assaulted a bystander, a 56-year-old resident of Maskwacis.

They are scheduled to enter their election and plea on Sept. 1 at Wetaskiwin Provincial Court.

An election is when those facing an indictable offence chose to be tried by a judge alone or a judge and jury if they decide to plead not guilty and proceed to trial.
