A preliminary hearing has been set for an alleged Hells Angels affiliate facing first-degree murder charges in relation to the deaths of a Center Burlington, Hants County couple.
Curtis Blair Lynds, a convicted drug trafficker serving time in federal prison, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Barry Kirk Mersereau and Nancy Christensen. The couple was found slain in their home in September 2000.
Lynds, 34, was not present during a Windsor provincial court proceeding yesterday when Judge Alan Tufts set aside Oct. 11 to 28, excluding Oct. 19 to 21, for a preliminary hearing in relation to his case. The preliminary hearing will take place in Kentville provincial court. A brief focus hearing is scheduled for July 18 in Windsor.
Lynds, a resident of 191 Hiram Lynds Road in North River, was charged on Dec. 13, 2010 with the double homicide. He also faces accessory after the fact charges in the deaths of Barry Kirk Mersereau's brother, outlaw biker Randy Mersereau, and innocent victim Charles Robert Maddison of Portapique.
It is alleged that Lynds helped his uncle, Jeff Lynds, flee custody, knowing he was responsible for the death of Randy Mersereau, who went missing in 1999. It is believed Randy Mersereau had a falling out with the Hells Angels prior to his disappearance. His remains were discovered Dec. 5, 2010, in a remote wooded area off the Hiram Lynds Road.
A second accessory after the fact charge was handed to Lynds in December, when 36-year-old Michael John Lawrence, of Windsor, was charged with the first-degree murder of Maddison, who went missing in September 2000.
Former East Mountain resident Les Greenwood, 41, is also facing an accessory after the fact charge in connection with Maddison's murder.
Along with Lynds, Greenwood and Lawrence also face two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of the Center Burlington couple.

Nelson police kept a close watch on about 60 riders in the poker run today, organised by members of the Hell's Angels gang.

Inspector Brian McGurk said police were delighted that licensees at virtually all bars along the way refused to entertain the event.

Police set up a roadblock during the run, breath testing riders and checking the roadworthiness of bikes.

Forty-three infringement notices were handed out and eight bikes were green-stickered.

Hells Angels took over the event after the hosts, the Red Devils, were unable to attend.

All members of the Red Devils and their associates remain in custody after appearances in the Nelson District Court this morning.

Twenty search warrants were executed in properties in the Nelson area yesterday with 28 people arrested, and drugs, weapons, cash and other property, including 11 motorbikes, seized.

Fourteen people will reappear in court on Tuesday and three have been remanded in custody until April 1.

Three members of the notorious Mongols biker gang will serve time in prison

 2009 stabbing outside a Gustine bar after entering pleas of guilty and no contest Tuesday in Merced County Superior Court.
Defendants Albert Aleman, 37, Brandon Carvalho, 31, Ruben Silva Jr., 23, David Silva Jr., 24, Mark Oseguera, 25, and Richard Naudin, 31, were accused of killing 33-year-old Bill James outside a Gustine bar late Nov. 6, 2009.
Three of the six defandants signed plea deals and were given various sentences, while David Silva Jr. had charges against him dropped.Naudin pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Oseguera pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to six years in prison.
Carvalho pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to seven years in prison. His prison term was extended by a year because of a previous term he served.
Based on the evidence in the case, Deputy District Attorney David Elgin, the prosecutor, thought the sentences were appropriate. The case is very complex, but the men sentenced Tuesday received justice, he added.
David Silva Jr. had charges against him dropped because after further investigation, it was determined that he wasn't at the scene or involved in the stabbing, Elgin said.
Several witnesses were interviewed before it was determined that David Silva Jr. wasn't involved, said John Garcia, the attorney who represented David Silva Jr.
Despite being in jail for about two years, he's taken it well and was "ecstatic" to have the charges against him dropped, Garcia said.
"I think from this point on, he'll probably find a better path for himself," Garcia said.
A preliminary hearing for both Ruben Silva Jr. and Aleman, who are still facing murder charges, will continue today at 10 a.m. in Courtroom 1.
Although the case was partially resolved Tuesday, Elgin said the specific motive for the killing remains unknown.
In the midst of the hearing, Carol L. James, the victim's mother, made a statement to the defendants.
While the victim's sister, Heather James could be heard crying in the background, some of the defendants made eye contact with Carol L. James, but others looked away as she explained how the death of her son destroyed her family.
Heather James had also planned on saying a few words, but was too upset to make a statement.
Outside of the courtroom, she said she was very close to her brother growing up. He was 15 months older than her.
Though it's difficult to be in the same courtroom with the men accused of killing her brother, she still makes the hearings to be there for her mom.
Despite three of the defendants being sentenced, it wasn't enough for Heather James.
"It doesn't seem like anything," she said.
Carol L. James labeled the men who killed her son "cowards," noting that nothing can bring her son back.
"I think about it everyday," she said. "I go to the cemetery everyday."
The night of James' death, up to 10 men walked into the 431 Fifth St. bar in Gustine, and a fight erupted with James. He was stabbed several times by at least two of the men. After the fight spilled out into the street, James was stabbed again and collapsed, according to Merced County sheriff's detectives.
Shortly afterward, he was pronounced dead at Memorial Hospital Los Banos. Detectives have said there's no evidence James was gang-affiliated.
The same weekend of James' death, members of the Mongols had booked every room of a Santa Nella hotel. The hotel staff abandoned the business out of fear of the gang, according to a sheriff's report.
In the months after the stabbing, sheriff's detectives rounded up a total of nine suspects throughout Southern California and the Bay Area, with help from agencies in those areas.

Sunday morning stabbing that left one man injured at an Anderson strip club stemmed from a shooting 20 years ago involving rival motorcycle gangs, the suspect told Police investigating the incident.

Jason Simmons, 36, was arrested at the VIP Show Club following an altercation that ended with a stabbing early Sunday morning.

According to court documents, cameras inside the club show Simmons facing Jesse Stone. The video allegedly shows Simmons reaching behind his back “and suddenly making stabbing motions towards the victim.”

According to court documents, Simmons told detectives the altercation started when the victim, Jesse Stone, started making comments about insignias on his black leather vest.

The probable cause illustrates how Simmons told detectives that Stone and another man were “there to kill him.”

Simmons faces a charge of aggravated and battery and possession of marijuana.

Stone was transported to a hospital in Indianapolis where he is listed in fair condition.
