TORONTO - A convicted killer who is the heir to a multi-million dollar aviation company will apply for legal aid to help fund his defence in two upcoming murder trials.
Dellen Millard, who was convicted of first-degree murder along with Mark Smich in the death of Tim Bosma in June, told court Friday he cannot access his assets in order to hire lawyers.
He and Smich are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Toronto woman Laura Babcock and Millard alone is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his father, Wayne Millard, whose death was initially deemed a suicide.
Both of those trials have been delayed as Millard continues on without a lawyer.
On Friday, Justice John McMahon set the date for the trial in Wayne Millard's death for March 20, 2018.
Last week, the trial for Babcock was pushed back from February to September 2017.
