Canada: Date set for first-ever HIV transmission murder trial

Johnson Aziga, 51, will finally be tried on May 12th, 2008 for the first-degree murder of two former female sexual partners who died of HIV-related illnesses.

Three previous trial dates had been cancelled after Aziga fired previous defence teams.

Superior Court Justice Thomas Lofchik said that the trial would take place in May whether or not Aziga had a lawyer at the time.

Aziga is also accused of 13 counts of aggravated sexual assault for failing to disclose his HIV status to the two women who died and to 11 others with whom he had unprotected sex.
