Man accused in Karina Wolfe murder deemed fit for trial

SASKATOON – A psychological assessment raises no concerns about Jerry Constant’s fitness to stand trial in the murder of Karina Wolfe, according to a Crown prosecutor. Constant appeared briefly in Saskatoon provincial court Tuesday morning.

Crown prosecutor Frank Impey confirmed to Global News the result of the assessment. It was ordered after the Crown indicated Constant was hearing voices and had suicidal thoughts when he told police where to find Wolfe’ remains in mid-November.

Wolfe disappeared in 2010 and was the subject of a missing person’s case for more than five years. Authorities say Constant voluntarily told police that they could find Wolfe’s remains near the local airport.

Constant faces charges of second-degree murder and offering an indignity to human remains. He will next appear in court on Dec. 22.
