The 49-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder.

Eisnor was found fit to stand trial in a ruling handed down earlier this month.

He was originally deemed unfit to stand trial, but provincial court Judge Gregory Lenehan ruled his mental condition no longer impairs his ability to stand trial.

The preliminary hearing is scheduled to start on Nov. 22.
