HALIFAX – Two people charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Halifax university student Loretta Saunders have had their case adjourned until March 19.
Twenty-five-year-old Blake Leggette and 28-year-old Victoria Henneberry were charged after Saunders’s body was found earlier this week in New Brunswick.

There was an outburst as Leggette appeared in Halifax provincial court Friday, when a man from the public gallery cried out “gutless coward” three times.
Henneberry did not appear in court.
Lyle Howe, Leggette’s lawyer, says he and his client are waiting for more information to be disclosed.
Howe says there’s a lot that’s not known at this point in the case.
Halifax police allege the 26-year-old Saunders was killed Feb. 13, the day she was last seen, at a Halifax apartment she once shared with the two accused.
Police could not say how long the three lived together.
Police say Henneberry and Leggette were in a relationship.
