Kelowna, B.C. Man Accused Of Killing His Wife And Daughters Wants A New Lawyer

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Jul, 2018 12:37 PM
    KELOWNA, B.C. — The Kelowna, B.C., man accused of killing his wife and two daughters days before Christmas last year wants a new lawyer.
     
     
    Thirty-four-year-old Jacob Forman is charged with murdering his wife of 12 years, Clara Soledad Forman, and their two daughters, seven-year-old Karina and eight-year-old Yesenia.
     
     
    Forman appeared in a Kelowna court briefly on Monday via video where a hearing was to confirm a pre-trial conference, instead Forman's lawyer Glenn Verdurmen said he had been informed that his client wanted a new lawyer. 
     
     
    The matter was put over to July 30.
     
     
    Police were called to the family's Kelowna home on the afternoon of Dec. 19 where the bodies were discovered.
     
     
    Forman was originally charged with second-degree murder in the deaths, but Crown counsel upgraded two of the charges to first-degree murder in March.
     
     
    Forman has not entered any pleas to the charges.
