MONTREAL - Bail hearings have been delayed for three men charged in an arson attack on a funeral home owned by the Rizzuto family.
The three men returned to court this morning in Montreal and were granted a delay until Wednesday.
No firm reasons were given by their lawyers but one of the accused, Alexandre Toulay, requested a new lawyer.
He and the other accused, Julien Bourassa-Richer and Sounthone Charensouk, all asked for delays.
Charensouk also pleaded guilty to unrelated drug-possession charges.
The charges against the three include arson, arson causing damage to property, possession of an incendiary material and conspiracy.
The Loreto funeral home in the east-end district of Saint-Leonard was attacked early last Thursday morning.
The funeral parlour is the same place where mourners gathered for a visitation for the late Nicolo Rizzuto Sr., killed by a marksman at his home in November.
