THUNDER BAY -- A murder suspect previously released on bail is back in jail after allegedly breaching her bail conditions.

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 a strict curfew.

She is now back in custody after allegedly breaching her bail conditions by consuming alcohol and appeared in bail court Friday afternoon at the Thunder Bay Courthouse via video.

She was remanded to April 20 where she will again appear via video.

A Crown application, triggered by the new charge, has been issued to request the cancelation of Thomas’ release.

That application will have to be heard in Superior Court; a date has not yet been set for that hearing.

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.
