CALGARY — A man accused of killing a Calgary woman and her five-year-old daughter was sent to hospital prior to a court appearance this morning.
Edward Downey, who is 48, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of Sara Baillie and her daughter Taliyah Marsman in 2016.
He was to appear for a case management hearing prior to his upcoming murder trial.
But his lawyer Gavin Wolch told court Downey was unable to attend because of a medical concern.
Wolch declined to reveal what happened except to say his client was in hospital.
The matter has been adjourned until Wednesday.
