A Calgary man accused of killing his children remains in custody after a court appearance on Monday. The accused has retained legal counsel as the case moves forward.
The man, whose identity is protected under a publication ban, appeared briefly in the Calgary Courts Centre. He was arrested following the deaths of his two children earlier this week. Police have not released details on the cause of death, citing the ongoing investigation.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court again next week. The Crown is expected to provide further evidence at that time. The defence lawyer declined to comment outside the courtroom.
Community members have expressed shock and grief over the incident. A makeshift memorial has been set up near the family home, with flowers and notes left by neighbours.
The case has drawn attention to domestic violence and child safety. Advocacy groups are calling for increased support for families in distress.
