CK Murder Suspect In Court

The man suspected in the 1987 murder of his wife is still without concrete representation following an appearance in court Friday.

George Jarvis wore an orange jumpsuit, and sported grey hair with a beard to match as he was in court via video feed.

Jarvis stood cross-armed as council discussed how to handle setting his bail hearing. In the end a judge pushed his next appearance in court to September 11, so a retainer confirmation could be completed.

The suspect was arrested last week, after CK police learned new information about the death of Donna Jarvis more than 25 years ago.
