A woman accused of intentionally running down and killing a man with her car had her murder case called in provincial court this morning.

The 36-year-old, whose name is banned from publication to protect the identities of children involved in the case, was originally charged with attempted murder, dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a crash.

It occurred mid-afternoon near the intersection of Mount Royal Avenue and Golf Avenue on Friday, August 16th.

Police believe a grey Honda Civic struck a 41-year-old man and sped from the area before police arrived. The victim spent a week in hospital fighting for his life before succumbing to his injuries.

That led police to upgrade the charge to second-degree murder.

The woman, who has since been released on conditions, was not in the courtroom today, as a designation has been filed that allows a lawyer to appear on her behalf.

That lawyer said today that she has received the first round of disclosure from the Crown, with more expected before the next court date on January 22nd.

The accused and the victim were known to each other.
