Police allege the 26-year-old woman was killed the day she was last seen at an apartment she once shared with the two accused.
Saunders body was found in a wooded area off the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick.
Saunders, an Inuit woman from Labrador, was a student at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax and focused her studies on missing and murdered aboriginal women.
Four days have been set aside for the preliminary hearing.
