Douglas Garland, the man accused in the murders of Alvin and Kathy Liknes and their grandson Nathan O’Brien, appeared briefly in person at the Calgary Court Centre on Wednesday.

Garland’s lawyer, Kim Ross, provided an update to the court on how far he is through the disclosure of evidence from police.

The review of the disclosure will determine the next steps in the proceedings against Garland.

Garland has been charged with two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of the Liknes’ and one count of second degree murder in the death of their grandson Nathan.

The bodies of all three victims have not been found.

Garland is expected back in court in December. He will remain in the Remand Centre until that time.
