The man accused of killing Don Frigo at the Hullett Wildlife Conservation Area is having difficulty obtaining legal aid.

Earlier this week, Boris Panovski made a video appearance in Goderich court.

A representative for his lawyer told the court that Panovski’s latest application for legal aid had been denied.

If another application is turned down, he may have to represent himself – something he said he planned to do earlier this year, before changing course and rehiring the lawyer he had previously dismissed.

Panovski, 70, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Frigo, in connection with a shooting at the Clinton-area park last September.

He also faces an attempted murder charge, relating to the wounding of Frigo’s wife, Eva Willer.

He has said that he plans to plead not guilty.
