A 35-year-old man accused of second-degree murder will return to court in March.
Marvin Garraway appeared in Chatham bail court via video Friday. His matter was turned over to March 3 for further pre-trial instructions.
Garraway will be remanded in custody until that date.
A publication ban is in place during the pre-trial phase of the case.
According to previously published reports, Garraway was allegedly involved in a fight during the afternoon of Oct. 7 at a Colborne Street home in Chatham.
Police were notified later in the afternoon that a man had arrived at hospital in Chatham with life-threatening injuries.
Despite life-saving efforts, police reported the man, identified through court documents as Randall Rouse, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A short time later, police said the accused was identified, located and arrested.
