An Oildale man, accused of murdering his ex-wife and mother-in-law made his first court appearance on the murder charges Tuesday. Robert Fuller did not enter a plea and his hearing was postponed.
Fuller is charged with two counts of murder. Sheriff's deputies say Fuller broke into the home of Suzan Annette Sowders-Fuller, then shot and killed her and her mother, Sharon Cannon.
Detectives say the shooting happened in front of their two young children. Sheriff's deputies say they had been called to the victim's home seven times in the past two weeks, after Fuller's husband violated his restraining order.
