  • 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.
