A 23-year old man from the Gift Lake Metis Settlement facing a second degree murder charge appeared in court March 1 and was remanded into custody and will appear in court again March 7.

The charges are in connection with a 25-year-old man from Gift Lake who was found shot to death on the weekend after he tried to stop an argument between two brothers.

Marvin Henry Beaver's body was found by a passerby on the road near the settlement.

Gift Lake is located about 300 km northwest of Edmonton.
