OTTAWA – An Ottawa man accused of killing his two sisters has missed a fifth court date.

According to the Citizen, Musab A-Noor, 29, did not appear for a scheduled court appearance Wednesday and has been found unfit to stand trial following a psychiatric assessment.

A-Noor is charged with one count of first-degree murder and one of second-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of Asma A-Noor, 32, and her sister Nasiba, 29.
