The trial date in the case of Rueben Buhler - the man arrested in relation to a triple homicide in Burns Lake – is expected to be determined on Sept. 9, 2015.
The so-called fix date will take place at 9:30 a.m., when the judicial case manager will fix a date for the trial.
Jordan Allingham, Buhler’s new lawyer, said he is still in process of receiving the disclosure from the Crown counsel and is not able to make any comments at this point.
Buhler has been charged with three counts of second degree murder and remains in custody.
On April 27, 2015, at 8:25 a.m., the Burns Lake RCMP attended a residence in the 200 block of Fifth Avenue in Burns Lake after receiving a report of potential foul play. Neighbours said they heard gun shots ring out around 6 a.m. When officers entered the residence, they found three people - one woman and two men - deceased inside.
Buhler appeared in the Burns Lake Provincial Court on April 29, 2015, and in the Smithers Provincial Court on June 15, 2015. A focus hearing took place in Burns Lake on July 31, 2015.
The identities of all three victims are still not being released.
