Kyle Clifford is accused of stabbing 61-year-old Carol Hunt, the wife of John Hunt, to death and fatally shooting Louise, 25, and Hannah Hunt, 28, with a crossbow at their family home in Bushey, Hertfordshire on July 9.
Clifford, of Enfield, north London, was previously charged with three counts of murder, one charge of false imprisonment and two counts of possession of offensive weapons - namely a crossbow and a 10-inch butcher's knife.
A previous court hearing heard Louise had been found tied up when officers attended the property.
Louise and Hannah Hunt had been shot with a crossbow and their mother Carol had been stabbed with a knife and suffered multiple injuries, the court was told.
Mr Hunt and his third daughter Amy previously issued a statement following the incident, which said: "The devastation we are experiencing cannot be put into words."
