The Prince George man accused of murdering a 15-year-old Fraser Lake girl made a first appearance in court Wednesday morning.

Cody Alan Legebokoff, 20, who is being held in custody on a detention order, will next appear on Jan. 5 after consulting with counsel.

A detention order means the accused is denied bail and remains in custody until the conclusion of the trial, subject to bail reviews in Supreme Court.

Legebokoff faces a charge of first degree murder death of Loren Donn Leslie.

Her body was discovered late Sunday night north of Vanderhoof following a police check of a suspicious vehicle on Highway 27.

An autopsy of the victim was to be conducted Wednesday in Kamloops.
