KAMLOOPS — The man accused of beating a 19-year-old with a baseball bat appeared by video at Kamloops court this morning.

Kristopher Teichrieb is charged with the attempted murder of Jessie Simpson, the young man who remains in hospital after a brutal assault in the early morning hours of June 19.

Teichrieb was denied bail last month.

Teichrieb will make his next appearance at the Kamloops courthouse on September 15 for an arraignment hearing.
