THUNDER BAY -- A murder suspect waiting on a decision after allegedly breaching her bail conditions will have to wait until next week to learn if she will be released.
Priscilla Thomas was charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Jeffrey Munroe, 35, on Jan. 25, 2014 at an apartment building on the corner of Kingsway Avenue and Walsh Street.
Thomas was granted bail by a Superior Court judge in April 2014 with several conditions, including that she must abstain absolutely from alcohol.
She is back in custody after allegedly breaching her bail conditions by consuming alcohol and appeared in bail court via video Thursday afternoon at the Thunder Bay Courthouse.
She was remanded to May 4 as Thomas awaits the decision from Superior Court Justice Dan Newton, who she appeared before last week for a bail review hearing.
After hearing arguments from both the Crown and defence lawyers, the judge said he expected to have his decision ready within a week.
In January 2014, city police said a domestic altercation had occurred between Thomas and Munroe, who lived together.
The altercation escalated and Munroe was stabbed. Alcohol was also a factor.
Munroe was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Thomas was committed to stand trial for second-degree murder on Dec. 18, 2014 after a preliminary hearing.
She also has a court date of May 26 for a pre-trial.
None of the allegations against the accused have been proven in court.
