A probable cause hearing for Matthew Simms, charged in the August murders of four elderly people in the Glenview community, has been postponed until the first of 2018.
The hearing had been set for this morning but the district attorney’s office said there have been no motions filed to move forward with the proceedings.
The DA’s office declined comment on whether it would seek a grand jury indictment against Simms before a probable cause hearing is held.
Meanwhile, a status hearing on the cases of Simms and Taphil Yancy in the 2015 murder of Jarshamel Cambridge is scheduled for December 13 in Halifax County Superior Court.
Status reports on all murder cases in the county are also expected to be given.
Simms is currently in prison after his probation was revoked earlier this month.
