Officials with the Florence County Clerk of Court say the trial date for Hiralkumar Gopaldas has been moved from April to June 11th. 

Earlier this month, Circuit Court Judge Michael Nettles announced in court that the date may have to be pushed back due to a scheduling conflict. 

Gopaldas is charged with killing his wife Punam Gopaldas and her mother, Vinabin Patel.They were found stabbed to death at a home in the Country Club of South Carolina June 25, 2011. 

Prosecutors say the couple was in the middle of a bitter divorce when the murders happened.

The case is being prosecuted by the South Carolina Attorney General's Officeand investigated by the State Law Enforcement Division
