One of the men accused of murdering Wilfred “Dickie” Charlie has allegedly breached his bail order, a court has been told.

Mario Reuben Skookum, 26, appeared Tuesday before Justice Suzanne Duncan in Yukon Supreme Court.

Crown prosecutor Ludovic Gouaillier told the court that Skookum has breached the conditions of his release. Skookum had been freed on bail by the late Justice Leigh Gower in July 2018.

Gouaillier did not indicate which bail term has been breached.

He recommended sending the matter for a bail review hearing soon.

Bibhas Vase, Skookum’s lawyer, was unable to attend court on Tuesday. He arranged for Samantha Dawson to appear by phone as his agent. She did not oppose anything said nor proposed by the Crown.

Duncan set the review to take place on Oct. 31. Skookum will remain in custody until that time.

Skookum stands charged alongside his brother, Tyler Skookum, 28, in the death of Charlie, 57, in Carmacks.

Charlie was reported missing on June 19, 2017. His body was found July 5 of that year in the Yukon River around Fort Selkirk.

The autopsy revealed the death was a homicide.

Mario Skookum’s bail conditions included reporting to a bail supervisor upon release, reside at the Yukon Adult Resource Centre if accepted, abide by a curfew, and abstain from drinking alcohol.

He was ordered not to attend any establishment that sells or serves alcohol, participate in all programs as instructed, remain in the Yukon, own no weapons, stay out of Carmacks unless he had the bail supervisor’s permission or for a court date, and have no contact with several witnesses.

The accused was also instructed to carry a copy of his recognizance with him at all times.
