KAMLOOPS, B.C. - A British Columbia father accused in the murders of his three young children has had his case put off while lawyers await evidence from the police.

Allan Schoenborn made a brief appearance through a video link with a Kamloops court today. Schoenborn is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his children, aged five to 10, who were found dead in their home in Merritt last month.

Schoenborn was arrested and charged following a 10-day manhunt in Interior B.C.'s thick backcountry.

Schoenborn, wearing an orange prisoner jump suit, didn't say anything during his brief appearance today.

His lawyer, Peter Wilson, addressed the court by telephone, and the case was adjourned until July 2 as Wilson and the Crown await more disclosure from the Mounties.
