Feb 13, 2019 | 10:54 AM

Alberta Justice says one of the people charged in a Grande Prairie stabbing attack has been ordered to stand trial.
 
Stephanie Plamondon will go to trial on a charge of aggravated assault. A date has not been set. An attempted murder count was dismissed at a preliminary hearing in Grande Prairie last week.
 
She and Dylan Gogan were arrested after a man was stabbed outside Rotary House on March 6, 2018. RCMP said at the time he was taken to the QE2 with injuries they described as not life-threatening.
 
Gogan was later attacked and beaten in the Peace River Correctional Centre. He ended up in a coma and was taken home to Nova Scotia. There is a stay of proceedings in place in his court case.
 
Three men were charged in the attack on Gogan. One of them, Dylan Moberley-Horseman of Peace River, pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated assault in Peace River court January 14. He was given a five-year jail sentence, minus 15 and a half months credit for time already spent in jail.
 
Kyle Malcolm Beaver of Edmonton and Herbert Charles Wanahadie of Grovedale will stand trial on aggravated assault charges March 26 to 28 in Peace River.
 
Moberley-Horseman and Ramsey Carifelle are facing charges that include manslaughter after another man died in a Cadotte Lake house fire in May of 2017. Their trial is set to start next Tuesday.
