Prince William County, Va. - The trial of a Triangle man accused of killing his wife and two stepchildren has been continued.
Carrillo Dean, 45, was set to stand trial in June on seven counts of capital murder and three counts of a use of a firearm for the shooting deaths of 45-year-old Elizabeth Dean, 14-year-old Brittany Kirk and 13-year-old Connor Kirk in their house on Cedar Drive in Triangle on Feb. 12, 2009.
But his trial has been postponed, after a joint motion.
Dean's trial is now scheduled to begin on Jan. 18.
Dean, a former Prince William County park ranger, is accused of shooting his wife after an argument in their bedroom. Police said he then when to the two teen's bedrooms and shot them.
He then called a police non-emergency number to report a domestic problem at the house, police said.
When police arrived, Elizabeth Dean and Connor Kirk were dead of gunshot wounds to the head.
Brittany Kirk was still alive and was flown to an area hospital, where she later died.
In court document, prosecutors said they will seek the death penalty.
