A trio appeared in court in a case involving the death of a St. John’s man. Forty-one-year-old Brad Morrell, 50-year-old Jason Wells, and 36-year-old Veronica Whalen each face a single count of second-degree murder in the death of 31-year-old Dylan Jordan.

All four lived in the same area at the bottom of Golf Avenue.

Police believe there was some kind of “physical altercation” with the victim before he was found dead in the street mid-morning on July 31st.

Officers surrounded a nearby home, where the three suspects were cornered, and they were arrested without incident.

In provincial court this morning, the preliminary inquiry was set for June of next year, with a deadline of April 25th to file documents, including a list of witnesses.

All three accused have agreed to remain in custody for now.
