TORONTO - The families of two people killed by an Ontario man are demanding answers from the federal government after the multiple murderer was moved to a medium-security prison.While Smich was moved two years ago, the families say they are speaking out now after recent national outrage over a similar transfer of serial killer Paul Bernardo. That transfer is under review, and the families of Smich’s victims are calling for similar scrutiny of Smich’s file.
In 2016, a jury found both guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Bosma. In 2017, another jury found the pair guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Babcock, whose body has never been found. The families got notification of Smich’s move, but not an explanation, said Linda Babcock, Laura Babcock’s mother.
“Our thoughts are with all victims, and their families and friends during these difficult moments,” Mendicino’s office wrote in a statement.
