A court-appointed psychiatrist who assessed A-Noor has concluded the accused killer is not mentally-fit to be prosecuted. His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, where the next phase of the case will be decided.

It is expected the courts will agree to a treatment plan with the hopes of one day making him well enough to stand trial, according to his lawyer Samir Adam.

He is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his sisters Nasiba, 32, and Asma, 29.

More than 1,500 mourners attended their funeral in December.

The sisters were remembered as “influential and inspiring.”

Their brother was arrested by a set of railroad tracks not far from the McCarthy Road home where police found the bodies of the slain sisters. He was initially taken into custody under the Mental Health Act for his own safety.
