A man from Saskatoon has made his initial appearance in provincial court to answer to serious criminal allegations, including murder and kidnapping, connected to the death of Chad Romanski.
First Court Appearance Held
Gage Ulmer-Busler attended Saskatoon Provincial Court for the first time on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. The proceedings mark a formal step in the legal process following his arrest on the grave charges. The court appearance was brief, as is standard for a first appearance, with the matter being adjourned to a future date to allow for further disclosure and preparation by the defense.
Charges Stem from Fatal Incident
The charges against Ulmer-Busler are directly linked to the death of Chad Romanski. While specific details surrounding the circumstances of Romanski's death and the alleged kidnapping have not been fully disclosed in court documents available to the public, the severity of the charges indicates a complex and serious investigation by law enforcement. The case has drawn attention within the local community.
Legal Process Moves Forward
The case will now proceed through the Saskatchewan justice system. Ulmer-Busler remains in custody pending future court dates. The next stages will likely involve a bail hearing and the setting of a preliminary inquiry date, where a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial in the Court of King's Bench. The outcome of this case will be closely watched as it unfolds in the coming months.
Authorities have not released additional information about a potential motive or the relationship between the accused and the victim. The investigation that led to these charges was conducted by the Saskatoon Police Service.
