A La Ronge man accused of killing a Prince Albert teenager has made his first court appearance.

This morning, 23-year-old Scott Leslie Keighley appeared in Prince Albert Provincial Court to answer to a charge of second-degree murder.

He is accused of taking the life of a 17-year-old male in the city earlier this week.

The Crown asked that he be held in custody, and the judge agreed.

Keighley will next appear in court on December 13th.
