Two Calgary men have been charged for allegedly helping a man accused of murder flee the country. The charges are linked to a first-degree murder charge against Nathan Gervais, who fled to Vietnam before his trial into the beating and stabbing death of 18-year-old Lukas Strasser-Hird. Gervais was to appear in court in April 2016 but failed to appear and was arrested in Vietnam nearly two years later. His trial on a charge of first-degree murder is to start on Monday. Franz Cabrera and Assmar Shlah were both found guilty of second-degree murder for their roles in Strasser-Hird's death, while Joch Pouk was found guilty of manslaughter.
