Case of man accused in triple stabbing at University of Waterloo back in court July 11
CBC
A 24-year-old man accused of stabbing three people on the University of Waterloo campus last week will see his case return to court on July 11.
Geovanny Villalba-Aleman faces several charges:
His case appeared before a judge in a Kitchener, Ont., courtroom on Tuesday morning.
Villalba-Aleman did not appear as the courtroom was not able to connect with the video conferencing room at Maplehurst Correctional Complex in Milton.
A lawyer offered instructions to the judge in writing, asking for the case to be put over until next week so that Villalba-Aleman could prepare a bail plan and complete forms to obtain legal aid.
An instructor and two students were sent to hospital on June 28. They were stabbed after a man entered a classroom in Hagey Hall.
Mark Crowell, chief of the Waterloo Regional Police Service, described what happened in the classroom on Wednesday as a "planned and targeted attack" that was a "senseless act of hate."
