A WOMAN accused of shooting and killing her Defence Force husband nearly two years ago was informed of her trial date yesterday.

Mikiko Black, 24, will return to the Supreme Court on July 1, 2013 to stand trial before Justice Vera Watkins. She is accused of the April 19, 2010 murder of Leonardo Black.

The late night incident happened at the couple's apartment on the corner of Boil Fish Drive and Adderley Terrace, off Faith Avenue.

Police found the body of the 27-year-old marine with gunshot wounds to the left side of the face.

The accused was arraigned four days after the incident before Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez.

She was not required to enter a plea to the charge at the time.

She is represented by attorney Ian Cargill. Prosecutor Linda Evans represents the Crown.
