The case of the man accused of having run into a Laval daycare center postponed to August

The case of the man accused of having killed two young children by driving his bus into a Laval daycare center has been postponed until the end of August.

Pierre Ny St-Amand was arrested after a bus crashed into a daycare center in the Sainte-Rose district of Laval, killing two four-year-old children and injuring six other toddlers.

The 51-year-old is charged with two counts of first-degree murder along with seven other counts, including attempted murder and aggravated assault.

Prosecutor Karine Dalphond said the case had been adjourned to allow further disclosure of evidence, adding that the case would return to court on August 22.

Pierre Ny St-Amand was found fit to stand trial in February following a psychiatric assessment.

A separate assessment to determine the mental state of Pierre Ny St-Amand at the time of his alleged crimes on February 8 was sealed by a judge in April.
