Central Alberta man’s murder trial in deaths of parents, sister delayed 2 weeks
RED DEER, Alta. — A triple-murder trial has been delayed for a central Alberta man accused along with a friend of setting his family’s home on fire and killing his parents and sister.
The trial for Jason Klaus on arson and first-degree murder charges was to begin in Red Deer on Tuesday, but the start date was put over to Oct. 23.
The Klaus home near the small community of Castor was found burned to the ground in December 2013.
The remains of Gordon Klaus and his daughter, Monica, were identified in the remains.
