James Lee Busch and Zachary Armitage are charged with the July 2019 death of Martin Payne, who was killed after the pair escaped from a minimum-security prison.
The trial of two men accused of killing a Metchosin man after they escaped from a Victoria prison will remain a joint one after lawyers abandoned an application to split the case.
Roy, however, told Crossin that the application was being abandoned. Armitage’s lawyer, Jim Heller, took no position on the change, nor did Crown prosecutor Chandra Fisher. After a preliminary hearing to determine if sufficient evidence existed to go to the trial, the pair was committed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court.Busch has been in prison, on probation or on parole for almost all of his adult life. He has served a sentence for rape and is serving a sentence for second-degree murder committed in May 2010, fewer than three months after getting out of prison.
