Calgary man charged with murdering brother makes first court appearance by phone

CALGARY — A Calgary man accused of killing his brother has made his first court appearance.

Nathaniel Watson, who is 25, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Brandon Watson, also 25.

The accused did not physically appear as a result of physical-distancing measures in Alberta courts, but was put through on the telephone.

His lawyer, who was just retained, asked that the matter be put over until Friday so she could get instructions from her client.

Brandon Watson was stabbed and died of his injuries last Thursday.

Police won't say whether the suspect and victim were twin brothers.
