    Double Murder Suspect Hospitalized Before Calgary Court Appearance

    The Canadian Press, 24 Aug, 2018 11:31 AM
    • Double Murder Suspect Hospitalized Before Calgary Court Appearance
    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.
