The 29-year-old will appear at Preston Crown Court over the next 10 weeks as a jury are told the facts of the prosecution’s case.
Last year Lancashire Police said Monaghan was charged with the murder of his three-week-old daughter Ruby Monaghan in January 2013 and his 21-month-old son Logan Monaghan in August 2013.
He is also charged with the murder of his girlfriend Evie Adams, 23, in October 2019.
