Accused killer Dustin Moir has been acquitted of two charges of breaching his bail conditions.
The ruling was made recently in Chilliwack provincial court based on offences that had allegedly occurred in June 2014 in Maple Ridge.
Moir, 29, was charged with the breaches while out on bail last year awaiting a new trial after having his 2010 first-degree murder conviction overturned for the death of 14-year-old Chelsey Acorn of Abbotsford.
Acorn’s remains were found in April 2006 in a shallow grave near the Carolin Mines exit off the Coquihalla Highway outside of Hope.
An autopsy determined that her skull had been crushed with a rock sometime in the fall of 2005, and she had been strangled and buried naked.
Moir and his dad, Jesse Blue West, were each convicted at separate trials of the first-degree murder of Acorn.
Moir’s conviction was overturned on appeal in January 2013, and he was released from prison on bail in August of that year.
Moir was also charged last year with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm in relation to a road-rage incident in July.
He was found guilty of that charge last month and received a conditional discharge and one year of probation.
A date for Moir’s new murder trial has not yet been set.
