Two accused in Lee Chiodo murder to stand trial, third to enter plea

The body of 40-year-old Lee Chiodo was found in the Mission Marsh area in February 2019.

THUNDER BAY - Trial dates have been set for two suspects charged in the 2019 kidnapping and murder of Lee Chiodo, while a third is expected to enter a plea later this month.

A trial scheduling hearing was held on Monday for David Hui and Musab Saboon who are facing first-degree murder and kidnapping charges.

A 10-day trial is scheduled to begin on Dec. 6 before a judge alone.

Marshall Hardy-Fox, who was also charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, is expected to enter a plea on June 9.

The charges stem from 2019 when the body of 40-year-old Lee Chiodo was found in the Mission Marsh area on Feb. 24.

Hui, of Thunder Bay, was arrested on in the Academy Drive area on March 2, while Hardy-Fox turned himself into police on March 3.

Saboon, who is from Kitchener, turned himself into Waterloo Police on March 5 and transported back to Thunder Bay after a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.

A preliminary hearing was held for Hui and Saboon last September.

Hui and Hardy-Fox were released on bail, while Saboon remains in custody at the Thunder Bay District Jail.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
