Oscar Arfmann was convicted of first-degree murder for the death of Abbotsford Police Const. John Davidson in November 2017
A photo of Oscar Arfmann is seen during a news conference held by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team at RCMP headquarters, in Surrey, B.C.The wife of a murdered British Columbia police officer says he treated everyone with compassion and fairness and yet he was shot in the back for his kindness.
The British Columbia Supreme Court trial heard the officer arrived first on the scene and was alone when he was ambushed by Arfmann, who shot him twice from behind.The officer’s wife, Denise Davidson, says he was a man who didn’t hesitate to put his own life in danger as the job required, and he stepped out of his vehicle that day to bring a peaceful resolution to the situation.
She told the court that her life has been shattered by his murder and she has no vision for the future because she can’t imagine life without her husband. His lawyer, Martin Peters, said it was open to the court to find Arfmann not criminally responsible for the murder because of mental disorder.
