The trial of a man charged in the 2009 death of a former Flin Flonner has been postponed. Leslie Grant McDonald of Crane River, Manitoba, was to have had his trial begin last month in Dauphin. But court records show the matter has now been adjourned until Feb. 25 as McDonald's counsel withdrew from the case. McDonald is charged with manslaughter in the July 12, 2009 death of Natasha Moar in Crane River, a reserve northeast of Dauphin. He has pleaded not guilty. Moar, who was 20 at the time of her death, was raised by her grandparents in Flin Flon from the time she was an infant. She moved away when she was 16. An autopsy determined that Moar had died of blunt force trauma. McDonald was her boyfriend at the time of her passing.
