A Barrie man accused of murdering two men in their north end townhouse is scheduled to make another court appearance via video this morning.
45-year old Robert Twiss is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Matthew Mallinson, 39, and his 73-year-old father Alan, who used a walker.
During a brief video court appearance last week in Barrie, court heard Twiss will be represented by Toronto lawyer Gregory Leslie.
Mr. Leslie has represented several high-profile clients including Barrie cold case murder accused Donald Feldhoff, who is still before the courts.
Barrie Police discovered the bodies of both Mallinson men in their Eden Drive home Jan. 26 after the registered owner of a pickup truck involved in an OPP chase was traced to the home.
The victims may have been dead for up to five days, according to police.
An autopsy showed both men had been stabbed to death.
Police said Twiss had been living with the Mallinsons.
Twiss is also charged with causing an indignity to a human body and flight from police.
