KAMLOOPS, B.C. -- The lawyer representing a man accused of killing his three children in Merritt, B.C., says he won't be seeking bail for his client.

Peter Wilson recommended his client Allan Schoenborn appear by video link from jail for his court appearance on Friday.

Schoenborn sat silently and appeared gaunt on a TV screen in the courtroom as a decision was made to put his case over to May 16, when he will appear in person.

Wilson said he and his client discussed the question of bail and decided against it.
