The Saulteaux First Nation man charged in the death of another Saulteaux man found dead on New Year’s Day remains in custody after appearing in court this morning.

 

23-year-old Jared Gopher will be back in North Battleford Provincial Court next Wednesday.

 

Gopher is facing a charge of manslaughter in regard to the death of 28-year-old Ronald Thomas.

 

A bail supervision report has been ordered, and Gopher will stay in custody while that report is prepared.

 

RCMP arrested Gopher on Monday.

 

It’s believed Thomas died at a house party on the reserve.
