PARIS -- The man accused of killing two men in West Paris last month will be in court today to argue for bail.

Duane Waterman, 32, made his initial appearance in Oxford County Superior Court in early August after police arrested him for the shooting deaths of Timothy Mayberry, 50, and Todd Smith, 43, whose bodies were found July 26 on Mayberry's property in West Paris.

Waterman was arrested on August 5, while he was fishing with his two children on Brettuns Pond next to Route 4 in Livermore.

Waterman has been held in the Oxford County Jail without bail ever since. The hearing will be held at Oxford County Superior Court.
