The first-degree murder trial of a man accused in the killing of a 25-year-old woman in Bowden in 2021 has been rescheduled for May, court officials confirm.

Ross Arran McInnes was scheduled to go to trial in Calgary’s Court of King’s Bench starting on Feb.5 but his trial was postponed. 

Jury selection was scheduled to take place on Feb. 1 but was also postponed.

Police responded to a residence in a Bowden apartment on March 22, 2021 where they found Kirsten (Gardner) O’Donoghue deceased.

McInnes was arrested at the scene.

O’Donoghue was the mother then two year-old twin boys.

The Mountain View Emergency Shelter Society has named its yet-to-be-built emergency shelter in Olds Kirsten's Place in tribute to O’Donoghue.

McInnes’ jury trial has now been scheduled for May 13 to May 31.
