The man accused of a double murder in Saanich, British Columbia, in 2023 is struggling to represent himself in court, according to recent proceedings. The accused, whose name is under a publication ban, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of a man and a woman.
During a court appearance on May 11, 2026, the accused expressed difficulty navigating legal procedures and understanding court protocols. The judge has repeatedly advised him to seek legal counsel, but the accused has insisted on self-representation.
The case stems from a shooting incident in Saanich in 2023 that left two people dead. The accused was arrested shortly after and has been in custody since. The trial is expected to continue with further hearings scheduled for later this month.
