New murder trial in September 2015 for Quebecer in stabbings of his kids
SAINT-JEROME, Que. – The new first-degree murder trial for a man charged in the stabbing deaths of his two young children has been scheduled for September 2015.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Marc David has set aside three months for Guy Turcotte’s jury trial.
Turcotte was not in court in St-Jerome today when the date was announced.
In 2011, a jury found Turcotte found not criminally responsible in the stabbing deaths of his children Anne-Sophie and Olivier in 2009.
The Crown successfully appealed the verdict last November and the Supreme Court of Canada announced in March it wouldn’t hear Turcotte’s appeal of that decision.
Turcotte remains incarcerated at Montreal’s Pinel Institute, a mental-health facility.
