Wearing an orange jumpsuit and appearing in person, 37-year-old Kevin Obina Okafor of Yellow Grass stood in court in Regina today.
He is facing first-degree murder charges in relation to the death of 33-year-old Abbie Speir, also of Yellow Grass.
Obina Okafor will appear in court again via video conference on Wednesday morning. The judge granted him the time to find legal council.
RCMP say Kevin Obina Okafor was arrested near Swift Current Thursday night just hours after emergency crews responded to reports of a house fire at 307 Brome St. in Yellow Grass. His white truck had rolled into the ditch.
He has also been charged with fleeing a police officer and dangerous use of a motor vehicle.
Spier's body was found Thursday night, after emergency crews responded to the small house fire at 307 Brome Street in Yellow Grass. Police say Okafor and Spier knew each other.
