and yes i was her friend.
Nina Louise Courtepatte, 13, died from blunt force trauma and aggravated sexual assault on April 3rd, 2005.
Charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault were Michael Erin Briscoe, now 36, Joseph Wesley Laboucan, now 21, and three teens not identified by provision of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
One male teen, aged 19 and nicknamed "Pyro", pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in youth court in Stony Plain on December 8th, 2006. He was to be sentenced as an adult in April 2007.
Briscoe's girlfriend, now 19 and named "Cindy" in this narrative, was to go to trial March 5th, 2007. Pyro's girlfriend, now 17 and nicknamed "Buffy", had a trial date set for May 1st, 2007.

A month had passed since local homicide detectives were last called out, but the first murder of the spring of 2005 found them dealing with an unidentified young female who was found bludgeoned to death on an Edmonton area golf course.
On April 4th, 2005 a groundskeeper inspecting the fourth fairway of the Edmonton Springs Golf Course Resort, located 30 km west of downtown Edmonton, found a teen's body as the winter's snow was receding.
Due to the severity of the beating, dental records were required to identify her.
By April 15th, 2005 RCMP had laid charges of first degree murder against five people.

After a week-long voir dire hearing – a trial within a trial – regarding the admissibility of evidence, the Crown's case against Joseph Laboucan and Michael Briscoe got underway.
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Brian Burrows had yet to rule on whether the video interviews and the jail cell conversations would be admissible in Briscoe and Laboucan's trial when it began.
The nature of the Briscoe-Laboucan trial was made difficult to follow at times due to the number of young offenders and witnesses who could not be named under provision of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
