The latest suspect arrested in the Tiki Laverdiere murder investigation made her first court appearance Monday in provincial court in North Battleford.
Nikita Cook faces charges of first degree murder and kidnapping in connection to the Laverdiere case. Cook also faces a number of other charges including two counts of failure to attend court.
It was a brief court appearance for Cook Monday. She has been remanded to her next court appearance Sept. 13 at 11:30 a.m. by closed-circuit TV. A no-contact order was also made preventing Cook from contacting several individuals; those names are covered by a publication ban.
Once again, family and supporters of Laverdiere were in attendance at provincial court.
Cook was arrested last week in Edmonton after being wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in the case. To date, eight individuals have been arrested and charged and the investigation is continuing.
