A 19-year-old man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend's mother and sister in Prince Edward County will begin his preliminary hearing in Picton on Monday.
Dean Brown, of Belleville, is charged with the first-degree murder of 46-year-old Tracy Hannah and her 14-year-old daughter, Whitney.
He is also charged with the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Shannon Hannah. The two had dated for several years before the relationship ended a few weeks before the shooting.
The family members were shot in their home in Mountainview, Ont., south of Belleville, on March 12. Another teen, who was a friend of the sisters, escaped injury by hiding in a closet.
Ted Hannah, the victims' husband and father, was working an overnight shift when the shooting occurred.
Brown's preliminary hearing is expected to last several days.
