Junor, a newlywed medical technician, died several days after being stabbed at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto’s popular underground PATH network of shops and restaurants on Dec. 11, 2015.

During a court appearance on Wednesday, a judge scheduled Bisesar’s trial to begin on Jan. 8, 2018.

Bisesar’s lawyer was also removed from her case during the hearing, at her request, which means she now has to find a new one. It was the second time Bisesar asked for a new lawyer.

The case returns to court on Monday, when the Crown is expected to ask for a psychiatric assessment for Bisesar to determine if she can be found not criminally responsible — a request the woman has already objected to.
