KAWARTHA LAKES-A Fenelon Falls man accused of killing his father and then setting his house on fire, appeared in court today.
45 year old Gregory Livingstone has been charged with first degree murder and arson. Police found the body of 75 year old John Livingstone in the burned out rubble of his Oak Street home on December 9th, 2017.
John Livingstone was a well known and loved character in Fenelon Falls. Friends and neighbours remembered him as kind and a lover of all things Fenelon.
Gregory Livingstone appeared very different from his first provincial court appearance. He had his hair shaved very short and appeared more composed than in previous appearances. Family members were in the courtroom to support him and four people were removed from his non-communication order.
The case was remanded to Monday when his lawyer expects to be able to set a bail hearing in superiour court. More serious charges such as murder are usually heard in Superior Court.
