Man charged in Toronto gay village death seeks bail
TORONTO — A man accused of killing a young woman in Toronto’s gay village last year is seeking bail at a two-day hearing that began Tuesday.
Kalen Schlatter is charged with first-degree murder in the November 2017 death of Tess Richey who, according to police, died of “neck compression.”
Four people have come forward offering to act as Schlatter’s sureties.
Richey, 22, was reported missing on Nov. 25 after a night out with a friend in Toronto’s Church and Wellesley neighbourhood.
