Two adult suspects among a trio accused of shooting and killing two Edmonton convenience store workers in late 2015 appeared in court Monday for the start of a preliminary hearing.

Laylin Cole Alex Delorme, 25; Colton James Steinhauer, 28; and a 14-year-old boy face charges of first-degree murder, robbery and other offences in connection to the shooting deaths of Mac’s workers Ricky Massin Cenabre and Karanpal Singh Bhangu.

Delorme and Steinhauer, both clad in orange jumpsuits, sat together in the prisoners’ box of an Edmonton courtroom Monday while their lawyers and Crown prosecutors prepared for the hearing.

It is expected to take up to five days, and prosecutors plan to call about 20 witnesses. Details from the hearing cannot be reported because of a court-ordered publication ban.

The third suspect, who was 13 when he was arrested and charged, cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The teenage boy, whose case is being heard in youth court, is next scheduled to appear Friday.
