A man accused of plotting to kill the son of Dieppe double-homicide victims will undergo a 30-day psychiatric evaluation to determine if he’s fit to stand trial.
Nicholas Daniel Bain, 30, appeared in Moncton provincial court by video Monday morning.
Crown prosecutor Patrick Wilbur asked for Bain to be sent to the Restigouche Hospital Centre in Campbellton. Wilbur said an initial five-day assessment suggests he may not be fit, but that there are “concerns” the Crown hopes a longer assessment can address.
Judge Troy Sweet ordered the assessment. Bain is set to return to court March 30.
Bain, who doesn’t have a lawyer, said nothing and only held up a yellow folder with writing on it in front of the camera.
