Musab A-Noor, accused of killing his two sisters last month, made his first court appearance Friday via video, sitting statue-still with a towel over his head while staring out the window of a psychiatric hospital.

A court-appointed psychiatrist has concluded A-Noor, 29, is unfit for trial and suffers from schizophrenia. The judge agreed to a 60-day treatment plan at the Royal Ottawa with the hopes he will be fit to stand trial for the Dec. 16 slayings of his sisters Nasiba, 32, and Asma, 29.

Dr. Michelle Mathias told court that A-Noor doesn’t understand the court process, nor is he concerned about its outcome.
The treatment plan will include sedative and anti-psychotic drugs, which he has refused for the last two days.

Mathias described the accused as catatonic and said he sometimes laughed inappropriately during assessments.

A-Noor is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his sisters.

More than 1,500 mourners attended their funeral in December.

The sisters were remembered as “influential and inspiring.”

Their brother was arrested by a set of railroad tracks not far from the McCarthy Road home where police found the bodies of the slain sisters. He was initially taken into custody under the Mental Health Act for his own safety.

The accused remains at hospital until his next court appearance, scheduled for March.
