Michel Cadotte, 56, was charged in February with second-degree murder, one day after his wife, Jocelyne Lizotte, 60, was discovered in cardiac arrest at a long-term care facility.

Quebec court Judge David-Emmanuel Simon has placed a publication ban on the contents of the hearing.
The purpose of the inquiry is to determine whether there is enough evidence to send Cadotte to trial.
He was granted bail under several conditions earlier this month.
The case resumes Oct. 23.
