Jury selection is getting underway in the trial of a man accused of a double killing in western Maine.

Mark Penley is charged in the fatal shootings of his ex-girlfriend, 31-year-old Heather Bickford, of Canton, and 31-year-old Dana Hill, at Hill’s apartment in Paris.

Penley told a 911 dispatcher that he arrived at the home to visit his children when he discovered the bodies on Jan. 1, 2019.

An autopsy revealed Bickford was shot five times and Hill three times.
