An Ottawa man accused of killing his two sisters missed a second court appearance on Monday, this time because he had been admitted to hospital, according to his defence lawyer.

Musab A-Noor, 29, was charged with first- and second-degree murder after his sisters’ bodies were found in a McCarthy Road home last Friday night. Nasiba A-Noor, 32, and Asma A-Noor, 29, died of stab wounds, according to police.

The accused brother also missed an appearance in mental-health court on Sunday because he refused to leave his jail cell at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, where he was on suicide watch. The court appearance had been re-scheduled for Monday.

It’s not clear why A-Noor was sent to hospital, and his lawyer, Sam Adam, said he couldn’t provide further details about his client’s condition.

“I’m not in a position to comment too much about the case at this point,” Adam said Monday evening. “It’s still very early and there’s a lot that still needs to be sorted out.”

A-Noor is now scheduled to appear in mental-health court on Wednesday. He has no prior criminal record.

Adam said he will consider making a request with the court to have his client undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

The slain sisters were buried on Sunday after an emotional funeral service in which they were remembered as “inspiring and influential” women whose lives ended much too early.
