Murder accused seeks fourth lawyer

Matthews violated a protection order when he allegedly shot and killed his ex-wife, Mandy Bailey, at her home in Main Street, Beaconsfield, on December 27, 2023.

He allegedly shot her in her bedroom in the presence of his nine-year-old stepdaughter and pointed a firearm at his 20-year-old stepdaughter.

The matter was scheduled to be heard for trial this week but was postponed until April 15 to allow for a new attorney to be appointed.
