A provincial court judge has determined a Moores Mills couple is fit to stand trial in the death of their baby.
27 year old Rodney Miller is facing first degree murder charges, and 19 year old Sarah Russel has been charged with manslaughter and accessory after the fact.
RCMP determined the baby was killed and then the body was hidden.
The couple had been sent for a 30 day psychiatric evaluation but have been determined to be fit for trial.
The couple has elected a trial by judge alone.
Miller will return to court April 14th to set a preliminary hearing date, and Russel is due back in court April 20th.
