Nanaimo Street
New Westminster police were on scene of a suspicious death on Nanaimo Street yesterday evening.

The man accused of killing an addictions support worker in September will be in court next week to set a date for his trial.

Jason Collet, an employee of the Last Door Recovery Society, was killed Sept. 16 at one of the society’s facilities in the 1100 block of Nanaimo Street.

The following day, 25-year-old Steven Rogers was arrested.

Rogers was formally charged several days later with second-degree murder.

He remains in custody at this time, and he is scheduled to be in court on Jan. 12 to set a date for his upcoming trial.

While police haven’t discussed any details regarding what led to Collet’s death, investigators said in September that he and Rogers knew each other, and neither were known to police prior to the incident.

Further details won’t likely be disclosed until the case goes to trial.
