A Brandon man charged in the death of a 2-month-old girl on the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, has had his matter heard in court again.

In January of 2016, Virden RCMP received a report of an infant in distress at a home on the reserve, and she later died in hospital.

After a lengthy investigation, 33-year-old Keifer Mecas was arrested in January of 2023, and charged with Manslaughter.

He remains in custody, and will appear in Brandon Court of King’s Bench for trial next April.
