Former neighbour of N.S. killer stands by story that RCMP did ‘nothing’ after she reported domestic assault

Former neighbour of N.S. killer says RCMP didn’t probe killer’s domestic assault, inquiry into mass killing hears

A former neighbour of the man who carried out the 2020 Nova Scotia mass killing stood by her story on Tuesday that RCMP did “nothing” when she reported a violent domestic assault years before the rampage.

In previous statements to media after the April, 2020, murders of 22 people, Forbes had said the RCMP didn’t follow up after hearing her account when she met them at her workplace in Debert, N.S. However, his handwritten notes from July 6, 2013, entered as evidence include the name of Glynn Wortman as well as those of Forbes and Gabriel Wortman, with “Lisa” written in brackets in the margin. Questioned by inquiry investigators, Maxwell said he didn’t know who Glynn Wortman was and that he wrote down “Lisa” because Forbes had said that was the name of Gabriel Wortman’s wife.

During cross-examination by a lawyer for the federal Justice Department – which represents the RCMP – Forbes said that though the killer threatened her after she reported the assault, she didn’t call police again. The RCMP did not seek a search warrant for weapons at Gabriel Wortman’s residence before the mass shooting, according to evidence presented to the inquiry to date.
