Original story: September 15, 7 a.m.

On Tuesday, 32 very long months after the murder of Wesley Hallam, a preliiminary hearing of evidence against three men accused of Hallam's murder will be coming to a conclusion.

Ontario Court Justice Andrew Buttazzoni is expected to announce his determination of that evidence in court on September 17.

He has been listening to the evidence to determine if it is sustantial enough to try Ronald Mitchell, Eric Mearow, and Dylan Jocko on charges of first degree murder and being a party to indecently interfering with Hallam’s remains.  

Hallam is said to have been killed in January, 2011, at a house party at 30 Wellington Street East.

About two days later his remains were discovered in a ravine adjacent to Landslide Road and an intesive police investigation was launched.
