American millionaire Jonathan Lehrer, one of two men charged in the killings of a Canadian couple in Dominica, has been denied bail.
Lehrer was charged with murder after the bodies of Daniel Langlois and Dominique Marchand were found in a burnt out car on the Caribbean island last December.
Lehrer is now expected to stay behind bars, along with his co-accused, Robert Snider Jr., at least until a preliminary hearing scheduled for June.
Langlois was a well-known Quebec businessman and the founder of Softimage, a digital effects program used on many blockbuster films including Jurassic Park, The Matrix and Harry Potter. He owned an eco-resort in Dominica and lived there with his wife.
Court documents said one Lehrer had been involved in a years-long dispute over use of a road leading to the couple's resort, Coulibri Ridge.
A protest was held at the high court as Lehrer applied to be released from prison earlier this month.
