David Eby called the murder of Tori Dunn 'horrific,' saying the reformed federal rules should have prevented Adam Mann's release.
SURREY, B.C. — British Columbia's premier says the province worked with the federal government to change its bail rules, so he is not sure why a man with a long and violent criminal history was released from jail weeks before the stabbing death of a woman in her Surrey, B.C., home.
Dunn's family has launched a petition calling for a legal review of the circumstances that led to Mann's release and for "changes to the system that will prevent similar tragedies in the future."Eby said he has asked his team to reach out to the Dunn family to discuss the case to better understand what went wrong and to find ways to "support the family in their calls for further federal reform.
He was once deemed an "unmanageable risk" unsuitable for community supervision, in a pre-sentencing report after being convicted of a home invasion in Ontario more than a decade ago. In 2009, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for robbery and weapons offences in connection with a home invasion, which he unsuccessfully appealed.
The report said Mann was "not suitable for community supervision, as he appears to be an unmanageable risk while in the community."
