The man accused in the Halloween night sword attack in Quebec City appeared briefly before a judge Friday and will see his case return to court April 30.
Carl Girouard, 24, from the Montreal suburb of Ste-Thérèse, Que., appeared via video conference from a detention centre.
He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder after a man dressed in a medieval costume and wielding a Japanese-style sword went on a rampage Oct. 31 in Quebec City’s historic district.
