An Aldergrove man will stand trial again for the murders of two sex workers after the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal related to the case. Davey Butorac was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder of the two women, whose bodies were found in Abbotsford and Langley in 2007. But the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned those convictions last year and ordered a new trial, while also giving Butorac the opportunity to apply to have the cases heard separately. The Crown appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which has refused to hear the case, effectively upholding the B.C. Appeal Court ruling. Butorac is scheduled to appear in court next on April 17.
