MONTREAL — A Montreal woman killed along with her two young sons by her estranged husband in 2019 told police more than a year earlier that she had received death threats and believed her husband was mentally ill.
In August 2018, Dahia Khellaf had filed a domestic violence complaint with Montreal police, detailing incidents in which Nabil Yssaad twisted her arm and tried to bite her upon leaving a bank meeting and another when he threatened her with scissors.
A Montreal police investigator, Det.-Sgt. Caroline Raza, outlined the allegations during the second day of a coroner's inquest into the killings of 42-year-old Khellaf and her sons, four-year-old Adam and two-year-old Aksil. The province's chief coroner ordered a public inquiry after a coroner's report into the deaths raised concerns about the work of authorities, including prosecutors and the judicial system, saying more could have been done to protect Khellaf and her children.
