Lawyers, judge to discuss slayings of young Muslims
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Attorneys in North Carolina are scheduled to meet with a judge to discuss the case of a man accused of killing a Muslim couple and one of their relatives.
Attorneys representing the prosecution and the defense are scheduled to go over pretrial case management for Craig Hicks on Friday before a judge in Durham.
Hicks is charged with murder in the 2015 deaths of Deah Barakat; his wife, Yusor Abu-Salha; and her sister, Razan Abu-Salha. The couple was neighbors of the defendant, who was known for arguing over parking spots at a Chapel Hill apartment complex and also making Facebook posts disdaining all religions.

The victims' families have sought to keep their memories alive by continuing philanthropy work they started, including a dental clinic for Syrian refugees.
