The trial of a Montreal family accused of killing three teenage sisters and a woman over family honour will resume Tuesday.
The case was abruptly adjourned Thursday after one of the accused became ill.
Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 41, her husband Mohammad Shafia, 58, and their son, Hamed Mohammad Shafia, 20, are each charged with four counts of first-degree murder.
The judge didn't specify which accused was sick, but Mohammad Shafia was the only one of the three not in the courtroom Thursday.
There was no details on the nature of the illness but the court said Friday that the defendant is out of hospital and back in jail.
Mr. Shafia, Ms. Yahya and Hamed Shafia are accused of killing three teenage Shafia sisters, Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, along with Rona Amir Mohammad, 50, who were found dead inside a submerged car in June 2009 in the Rideau Canal.
Ms. Mohammad was one of Shafia's two wives in a polygamous marriage.
