A teen charged with the murder of Tyson MacDonald was denied bail in a P.E.I. courthouse on Thursday.
Nearly 100 people packed the Georgetown, P.E.I., courthouse when the two teens charged in connection with the death of Tyson MacDonald appeared on Thursday morning.
The family of the one of the accused cried when the judge rendered her decision: the teen will remain in custody. The presiding judge denied bail following lengthy submissions Monday.
A lawyer appeared briefly on behalf of the other teen, who consented to remain in custody.
A publication ban forbids sharing any information which would identify the teens and any details of testimony from the hearings.
A small group rallied outside the courthouse to show support for the family and demand justice for the slain teen.
MacDonald, 17, went missing the evening of Dec. 14 and for the next five days a massive manhunt overtook eastern P.E.I. until the teen’s body was found.
