Paul Caneiro, 51, remains in a Monmouth County jail on Wednesday after his court hearing was pushed back to Friday
A highly anticipated court date has been pushed back to Friday after the lawyer of a New Jersey man whose brother was found killed in his mansion along with his family says new evidence has come to light in the case.
Paul Caneiro, 51, was set to appear on Wednesday in Monmouth County Superior Court in central New Jersey for a detention hearing on an aggravated arson charge.
Caneiro has been accused of setting fire to his Ocean Township home while his wife and two daughters were inside, according to NJ Advance Media.
But Caneiro’s lawyer, Robert A. Honecker Jr, requested that the hearing be adjourned after he says he was given new evidence by prosecutors.
Honecker told NJ Advance Media that he wanted more time to review the evidence with his client.
When asked what the new evidence was, Honecker declined to say.
Last year, New Jersey eliminated cash bail. Under the new reform, judges stopped setting cash bail for all defendants.
Instead, judges can either release the defendants until trial or keep them in jail.
A judge in New Jersey could impose cash bail if it was decided that it was the only way to make sure that defendants wouldn’t skip court dates.
Caneiro’s wife and young adult daughters may testify, to say he saved them from the 5am fire by awakening them, Honecker Jr. said.
‘His family is supportive of him and wants to see him come home,’ said Honecker, a former prosecutor in Monmouth County.
Prosecutors say Paul (right after a car accident which gave him a limp) set fire to his home using gasoline while his wife Susan, (center left) and daughters Marissa, 23, (second from right) and Katelyn, 26, (left) were inside the home
Keith Caneiro, his wife Jennifer, and their two children Jesse and Sophia (all pictured) were murdered at their Colts Neck, New Jersey, home before it was set on fire
‘He's been living in that house for over 20 years. He's got two businesses that need to be run. And he's got no prior record.’
Police say Caneiro used gasoline to fuel the fire at his two-story Colonial in Ocean Township, about 10 miles from his brother's jarringly modern, all-white $1.5 million home in Colts Neck, which sits next to a small organic farm with sheep dotting the pasture.
He has not been charged for the murders of his brother and business partner Keith, 50, or those of Keith's wife Jennifer, 45, and their two children, Jesse, 11, and Sophia, eight.
They were found dead at their home in Colts Neck, 12 miles from Paul's home, after a fire was reported there at 12.38pm.
Keith was shot at least twice in the back and head and his wife and children, eight-year-old Sophia and 11-year-old Jesse, had been stabbed.
Paul Caneiro was seen outside his own burning home with his family throughout that morning, visibly upset.
Honecker said he went from there to the police station for an interview around noon and was there when he learned his brother's family had been killed.

‘He's never been charged with anything in Colts Neck,’ Honecker said.
‘He is obviously still devastated by the news of his brother and his family's deaths.’
Meanwhile, the community is eager to get answers that would shed light on what exactly happened that fateful day.
'We have a lot of jittery people that have questions that we don't have answers to,' said Mayor J.P. Bartolomeo, who nonetheless said that he believes the crime was an isolated one and that the community is safe.
The two houses are 12 miles apart. There were just over seven hours between when the two fires were reported
Paul and Keith Caneiro were the principals in two businesses, a computer systems company called Square One and a pest control business, both housed above a trendy cafe in Asbury Park.
Workers in the area frequently saw Paul Caneiro there.
Keith Caneiro, the middle of three brothers, appeared to be the picture of a self-made man.
He took classes at Brooklyn College after high school and worked for free at a computer store to learn the ropes, according to a 2001 article on Square One in the Asbury Park Press, in which Carneiro identified himself as Keith Martin.
The company, then known as Jay-Martin Consulting after the brothers' middle names, had 26 employees at the time and installed computer systems for Citibank and interactive kiosks at the Statute of Liberty.
Paul was his brother's first hire.
The company, and the brothers, moved from Brooklyn to the quieter New Jersey suburbs as the brothers married and had children.
Obituaries describe Keith's children as 11-year-old Jesse, who liked World War I and II history, video games and sports, and 8-year-old Sophia, who loved ice skating, ninja classes and making cookies with her nanny.
Funeral services for the family are planned Sunday.
Jennifer and Keith paid off their mortgage two years ago. Their home (pictured during the blaze) is in an exclusive neighborhood and sits on nine acres of land

Jennifer Caneiro (left), 45, was active at her children's school. She also enjoyed exercising, going to the beach and trips to a family home in Greece, her obituary said. She and Keith (seen right) also took frequent trips to Atlantic City, according to a family friend
In recent years, Keith Caneiro had earned a bachelor's from Columbia University's general studies program and, just this year, a master's degree from its School of Professional Studies.

She and Keith also took frequent trips to Atlantic City, according to a family friend.
Family members, including a third brother, have declined to speak to The Associated Press this month.
Prosecutors said at an early news conference that the Colts Neck slayings were "targeted."
They plan a news conference Thursday on the mansion fire.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
