A couple accused in the death of a 10-year-old boy are now facing upgraded charges of first-degree murder.

Police say the boy’s father Garfield Boothe and stepmother Nichelle Boothe-Rowe appeared in a Brampton court Thursday for the start of their preliminary hearing.

Both were formally charged with the upgraded counts.

The retrial of a Calgary mother accused of strangling her teenage daughter will be delayed for at least seven months for health reasons.

Aset Magomadova initially faced a murder charge in the death of her 14-year-old daughter, Aminat, in 2007. During the trial, she testified that she acted in self-defence when her daughter came at her with a knife.

She was convicted of manslaughter and got a suspended sentence, but last year, the Alberta Court of Appeal ordered a new trial on the charge of second-degree murder.

Fugitive wanted for sex crimes in Germany arrested in Vancouver

By Lori Culbert, Postmedia News

VANCOUVER – A man who is wanted in Germany for sex crimes against a child that spanned four years was found hiding in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and ordered deported Tuesday.

Patrick Boehme, 45, was arrested on Friday by Canada Border Services Agency officers, who began looking for the man in February after German police issued an arrest warrant for sexual interference with a minor.

At an Immigration and Refugee Board detention review hearing on Tuesday, Boehme’s lawyer, Sharon An, said her client admitted to having “sexual relations” with a girl while she was between the ages of 13 and 17.

The name of the girl and her relationship to Boehme is protected by a publication ban.
