The Huron County man charged in last week’s double homicide near Wingham was in court Thursday, now facing additional charges.

It was the first time 56-year-old Kevin Carter made a court appearance in person. He had previously appeared by video from London’s Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre.

On Wednesday, he was in court on two new charges.

On top of the two charges of first-degree murder, Carter has also been charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault with a weapon.

Police also found a woman injured on the property. She was treated in hospital and released later the same day.

Carter was arrested at the property without incident and taken into custody.

The victims cannot be identified due to a court-ordered publication ban.

His next court appearance is April 18 in Goderich.
