**ABS-** A new date has been set for the man accused of killing former St. Peter **MP Asot Michael**.

Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason has pushed back the case against Alexta Francis, after revealing the prosecution’s file is still not ready for committal.

Francis made his third court appearance today in the St. John’s Magistrates’ Court since his arrest last November.

He’s accused of stabbing the high-profile former parliamentarian to death at his Dry Hill residence on November 5.

Police arrested and charged Francis just three days later. In court, Francis was again represented by Attorney Leon Symister.

The case is now adjourned to September 3, with the court awaiting key documents to move the matter forward.
