Asked if she is now ready to tell her story, Lisa Banfield's lawyer responded outside of court: “She most certainly is.”
In statements given to police in 2020, Banfield said the killer assaulted her at their seasonal home in Portapique, N.S., the night of April 18, 2020 before beginning his rampage, and that she’d suffered prior domestic abuse over the years.
Lockyer said he expects the topic of domestic violence, and how authorities deal with it, to play a “big role” in the inquiry.He said she is “devastated” by everything that’s happened and is “more worried about the even greater devastation that’s happened to the families” of the victims.During the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings Wednesday afternoon, Chief Commissioner Michael MacDonald confirmed that Banfield will testify at the inquiry at a later date.
