Man accused of murdering off-duty Nova Scotia officer released on bail
HALIFAX — A man accused of killing an off-duty Nova Scotia police officer more than a year ago has been released on bail, about 11 months before his case goes to trial.
The province’s Public Prosecution Service confirmed Christopher Calvin Garnier was granted bail Tuesday in Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
Garnier is facing a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Truro police officer Catherine Campbell.
The 28-year-old Halifax resident was also charged with interfering with a dead body after Campbell’s remains were found in September 2015 near the base of an overpass in Halifax.
