The man accused of killing Bailey McCourt is facing another criminal charge.
James Plover appeared in court Wednesday on an allegation he breached a no-contact order in Pitt Meadows last September.
Plover is already charged with first-degree murder in the death of his estranged wife, who was allegedly attacked with a hammer in a Kelowna parking lot last summer. He also faces a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in connection with another victim.
His murder trial is scheduled to begin in September.
