The Swift Current man charged in the alleged homicide of Matthew Neufeld last August had his matters return to court this week, where trial preparations were discussed. Christopher Sean Foster appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court via video from the Regina Correctional Centre on Wednesday morning, represented by Scott Allen, who was acting as agent for Foster's lawyer, Mauren Schaefer. Crown prosecutor Greg Lee said Friday, September 11, has been reserved for a trial, in which the accused will be personally present. "We anticipate everything to be resolved on that date," said Lee.
