A 35-year-old Vancouver man remains in custody on allegations he attempted to murder two people and other charges.
Cordell Beau Theaker appeared before Vancouver provincial court Judge Jennifer Oulton on the charges Jan. 13.
Court documents said Theaker is accused of breaking into an east Vancouver home on May 21, 2022 and committing attempted murder, aggravated assault and/or unlawful confinement.
Further, the documents said, Theaker is alleged to have attempted to kill a person by striking them with a hammer and/or stabbing them with a knife.
That same day, Theaker is alleged to have attempted to kill a second person by striking them with a hammer and/or stabbing them with a knife.
The fourth count alleges that, again on May 21, 2022, Theaker unlawfully confined a third person.
Court documents indicate not guilty pleas on all charges, and that Theaker has elected trial by provincial court judge.
Defence lawyer Eric Warren told Oulton no bail hearing has been held. He told the court his client was consenting to remain in custody.
Theaker is not allowed to contact three people in connection with the case.
A publication ban on the identities of witnesses covers the names of the victims.
