Girls charged in fatal ‘swarming’ attack of Kenneth Lee headed to trial

Eight girls who police alleged murdered homeless man Kenneth Lee are headed to a jury trial.

Ontario Court Justice David Rose committed each of them to trial on Friday after 10 days of hearing evidence and argument at a preliminary hearing. But not all of the girls will stand trial on the second-degree murder charge laid by Toronto police.

Six of the girls, Rose ruled, will face trial on second-degree murder and two were committed to stand trial on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
