MOOSE JAW — Dillon Peeace, 20, who was involved in the earlier Sept. 28, 2023, downtown machete attacks with his twin brother, Kyle Peeace, 20, appeared by video conference at Moose Jaw Provincial Court early on the morning of May 16 to attend the latest hearing with Judge David Chow presiding.
Peeace’s defence has requested “one further adjournment” to make final submission preparations and stated they expect to make “substantial movement” in the next hearing with an “anticipated plea and sentencing” concluded at that time.
The Crown was in agreement and stated that the proposed joint submission will take time to prepare.
The incident leading to Peeace’s arrest occurred Sept. 28, 2023, at approximately 6:10 p.m. when police and EMS crews responded to multiple 911 calls regarding a stabbing at the TD Bank located at 23 High Street East.
When police arrived, they assisted EMS crews who located and attended to two stabbing victims. One of these victims was struck near the head with a machete.
Shortly after the attack, police located and arrested the two 20-year-old twin brothers believed to be responsible for the attacks who then surrendered without incident. Dillon has been charged with two counts of attempted murder for his role in the attack and has remained in police custody since the night of Sept. 28, 2023.
The motivation behind the twin brothers’ earlier attack remains unknown or has not been disclosed.
The case has been adjourned until Thursday, June 6 in Courtroom 1 at the Moose Jaw Provincial Courthouse and Peeace is expected to appear by video conference.
As the defence and Crown have stated that submissions alone may take over an hour to read and review, the time has been set for 2:30 p.m. following docket court with the stated reason being convenience in the consideration of other cases on that date.
