Acquaintances and former neighbours have described the 51-year-old killer as a clever and manipulative millionaire who would threaten harm to his spouse's family, control her money or cut off her means of escape by removing the tires from her car or blocking the driveway.
The woman has spoken to the police about her partner's use of a replica police vehicle and his guns, but requests by The Canadian Press to speak to her directly have been declined by a family member. He witnessed Wortman locking his partner out of their home to prevent her from gathering her belongings after an argument and then removing the tires from her vehicle and throwing them in a ditch.
Gill said a U.K.-style coercion law would allow acquaintances and colleagues to report exactly these patterns of threats and control.
How about investigating the RCMP and their failures )
Why did the American Embassy send out a warning and the RCMP did not? Why is it never mentioned that the ' shooter ' was a sub contractor for the Canadian Army and banned from owning guns, yet he was responsible for the military weapons Keep on covering for a FF!!!
First teach the cops this because they're the ones ignoring victims & w/o proper reports written judges can't punish abusers or set victims free. Instead victims are forced to co-parent with abusers in Canada
Doubtful Canada has too many pathetically weak willed fools for Politicians. They prefer to pamper Evil killers with incarceration at tax payer expense, rather then let them swing at the end of a noose.
So if all these people, over all this time were witness to his domestic violence and did nothing, how would a new law change this?
Why make new laws when the ones we already have aren't used?
I thought there were already laws in force where charges could be laid and an abuser arrested if the police saw evidence of such abuse, whether the abused person wanted to press charges or not?
Are they braindead?
So someone can just accuse me of being manipulative and I have committed a crime? No thanks.
