Leonard Brian Cochrane was arrested in 2020 and later convicted of two counts of first -degree murder in the 1994 shootings of Barry Buchart and Trevor Deakins in their Radisson Heights home.

Another Calgary man, Stuart Douglas MacGregor , was charged in the same killings but prosecutors last week stayed the two murder charges against him.

In a statement Friday , the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service confirmed the charges against Cochrane have also been stayed.
