Sofia Gawron to face provincial court despite unfitness ruling
Sofia Gawron, 80, accused of chopping her husband's body, is to appear today in provincial court in Medicine Hat.

She faces charges of interfering with human remains and three counts of fraud. She lives in a Blairmore long term care facility with many residents suffering dementia.
