Toronto neurosurgeon charged with killing his wife ordered to stand trial
TORONTO — A Toronto neurosurgeon accused of murdering his wife has been ordered to stand trial, a prosecutor said Friday.
Dr. Mohammed Shamji is charged with first-degree murder and committing an indignity to human remains in the death of Dr. Elana Fric-Shamji, the mother of his three children.
A Crown lawyer in the case said a date has not yet been picked for the start of the trial, but noted that Shamji is scheduled to return to court April 6.
Fric-Shamji, a family doctor at Scarborough and Rouge Hospital, was last seen Nov. 30, 2016.
