Judge grants no contact order against Calgary man accused of killing girlfriend, mother and stepfather

Accused triple killer Dustin Duthie was ordered not to have any contact with the victims' family members, as he appeared via closed-circuit television in a Calgary court on Wednesday morning.

The 25-year-oldis charged with three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of his girlfriend, Taylor Toller, his mother, ShawnBoshuck, and stepfather AlanPennylegion earlier this summer.

Duthie, who was not represented by a lawyer, wore a blue jumpsuit and said little during the hearing. It lasted only a few minutes.

The Crown prosecutor asked for a no contact order, which the judge granted, saying Duthie is supposed to "abstain absolutely" from contactingthe victims' family members.

Earlier this month, Duthie was found mentally fit to stand trial after being examined by a forensic psychiatrist.

The victims were found on July 31 after police were called for a check on welfare at two homes.It wasDuthiehimself who called 911, according toCBCNews sources.

Officers discovered Toller's body at her southeast apartment, in Applewood Park, and Duthie's mother andstepfather at their Hidden Valleyhome in northwest Calgary.

Investigators believe Toller was murdered on July 26and thatBoshuckandPennylegionwere killed five days later.

Duthie is set to appear in court again on Sept. 12.
