Calgary Father Accused in Children’s Deaths Remains Jailed After First Court Appearance

A June 5 hearing is scheduled following a brief first appearance.

Overview

  • The 37-year-old appeared by video on Monday in Calgary Court of Justice, and the judge set a June 5 return date.
  • He remains in custody at the Calgary Remand Centre, and any request for bail must be heard in Alberta’s Court of King’s Bench.
  • Police say he drove to a district station, called 911 to confess, and was arrested nearby before officers found the children in a vehicle on the 4500 block of 14 Street NW.
  • Court records list April 29 as the offence date, and police say he picked the children up that evening but did not return them as agreed.
  • A publication ban shields the children’s identities, and a street-side memorial in North Haven shows the community’s grief.
