A B.C. provincial court judge has found there is enough evidence for three Okanagan residents to stand trial on charges stemming from a stabbing and robbery in Kaleden, B.C., one year ago.

William Hill, Queenie Kruger and Amanda Sach were ordered to stand trial after a preliminary hearing in Penticton on Tuesday.

On Jan. 4, 2019, a Penticton woman sought medical attention at Penticton Regional Hospital for a stab wound, according to RCMP.

“The victim, a Penticton woman in her 40s, sustained serious non-life threatening injuries as a result of the alleged assault with a weapon,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said.
