For about a month and a half now, 24 year-old Coast Guard Officer Keyren Tzib has been on remand for the death of her common-law husband, 30 year-old Thytis Blancaneaux. Viewers may remember that police charged Tzib with manslaughter because they believe that she stabbed Blancaneaux to death.

Well, she was back in court today for a hearing to find out how far the prosecution has progressed towards what is known as a P.I. or preliminary inquiry. That's a hearing to decide if the prosecution has gathered enough evidence to try her in the Supreme Court. It's expected that the preliminary inquiry will be a few months down the road, and so today, the prosecution simply asked for an adjournment of the case, which was granted. Tzib, who is expect to apply for bail some time soon, has retained Mayor Darrell Bradley as her attorney. Court reporters tried to ask Bradley why no attempts have been made yet to apply to the Supreme Court for bail, and he declined comment saying that Tzib's family has requested that he does not speak with the press at this time.

On Saturday, July 18, police found Blancaneaux dead in the yard of their Lord's Bank Apartment. He had been stabbed once to the shoulder, and bled out before anyone realized what had happened. Eyewitnesses say that the couple was drinking, and they got into a quarrel which escalated to a fight. The couple's landlord told us that Blancaneaux aggressed Tzib for a second time, and she struck out at him with a stab, which from his observation more defensive than deliberate.

In an unrelated case, she's also facing charges of attempted murder, dangerous harm, and use of deadly means of harm for allegedly shooting a fellow Coast Guard officer.
