Double Murder Suspect Hospitalized Before Calgary Court Appearance

The Canadian Press, 24 Aug, 2018 11:31 AM

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.
