HALIFAX -- A man charged in the deaths of three people in a house fire in the Halifax area had his case rescheduled today to give the Crown time to work out the details for a second psychiatric assessment of the accused.
Codey Reginald Hennigar was charged with three counts of second-degree murder after the remains of three people were found in a home in January.
The remains of 81-year-old Clifford William Ward, 74-year-old Ida Raye Ward and 54-year-old Mildred Ann Ward and were found in a rural home about 25 kilometres northeast of Halifax's airport in January.
Police haven't discussed the relationships between the deceased and the accused, citing the federal Privacy Act.
Hennigar's case was adjourned until July 9 in Dartmouth provincial court.
The Crown says the court date in July will determine how much time is needed to do the second assessment.
