LAVAL, Que. - The man accused of murdering two children and injuring six others after a city bus crashed into a Montreal-area daycare is scheduled to stand trial over five weeks beginning in April 2025.
Superior Court Justice Lyne D茅carie today set Pierre Ny St-Amand's trial for next April 7 to May 9, but suggested the dates could be moved forward if the schedules of the lawyers in the case open up.
St-Amand was arrested after a transit bus crashed into the front of a daycare in Laval, Que., on Feb. 8, 2023, killing two young children, aged five and four, and injuring six others.
In March a Quebec court judge ruled after a preliminary inquiry that there was sufficient evidence to send the case to trial.
The former Laval transit driver will stand trial on two charges of first-degree murder and seven other charges, including attempted murder and aggravated assault.
The case is scheduled to return to court on June 11.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said a judge ruled in February that the case would be sent to trial. In fact, the judge made that ruling in March.
