Long Delay Before Suspect In Murder Of Grandparents And Grandson Goes To Trial

The Canadian Press, 31 Jul, 2015 11:31 AM
    CALGARY — The man accused of killing a little boy and his grandparents in June of last year won't be going to trial until 2017.
     
    Douglas Garland was arrested last year following the disappearance of Alvin and Kathy Liknes and five-year-old Nathan O'Brien.
     
    Garland is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and his trial is to begin on Jan. 16, 2017.
     
    The bodies of the three family members have not been found.
     
    Nathan had been sleeping over with his grandparents after they held an estate sale at their Calgary home in advance of a move to Edmonton and then Mexico.
     
    When his mother arrived to pick up her son the next morning, no one was home.
