Man charged in death of two Kaukauna children cannot fire attorney

A man accused of killing his children in a Kaukauna home will not be allowed to fire his attorney. An Outagamie County judge denies the request from Matthew Beyer to get a new court-appointed attorney after his current lawyer filed a motion to have him tested for mental competency. Beyer is charged with two counts of First Degree Intentional Homicide in the stabbing deaths of his five year old son–William–and three year old daughter–Danielle–back in February of 2020. His trial is scheduled to begin in September.
