A young couple, both in their 20s, were found dead in a car in a lovers lane in suburban St. John's.
The police said the deaths are not suspicious, which suggests it was CO poisoning or something, but the grapevine suggests it was a murder/suicide. :( http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&ID=51712 |

They didnt say what happened in 56 but the last time 9 people were killed in the region was back in the 1880s or 1890, a guy killer and eat 9 members of his family.

Sounds to me like a double suicide, but I guess if it was a murder-suicide the police will let us know. Terribly sad, especially considering the time of year. |

A look at Thunder Bay's 11 homicides of 2014: http://www.tbnewswatch.com/News/3663..._cases_of_2014
|
There was another murder the same day as the mass murder but in Strathcona county just on the edge of Edmonton. That one was over shadowed by the big one. The police services and medical examinars office were tapped out so they did not do a major investigation for 24 hr. This one could be drug or gang related. Jeep in an industrial area was on fire 2 people inside one dead one sent to hospital.
I have a neighbour that deals with all unatural deaths and was informed the medical examinors office had people sleeping at thier desks because they were so busy. |
A second person was charged in Thunder Bay's 11th homicide this morning. That brings the total up to 19 people charged with murders committed in 2014. One homicide (a man who was burned to death at the tent city) saw 6 people charged, while a beating outside City Hall on Canada Day has 3 people charged and two more homicides (the latest, and the murder of a Fort Frances man in August) have two people charged. Only one homicide has yet to result in an arrest—a man found dead at a golf course, cause of death not released.

Calgary is up to 2 for 2015 already.
|
Anyone care to do a synopsis of 2014 homicides in different Canadian cities. Like official numbers for Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vancouver, etc
|
This is from Thunder Bay's local news, not sure where they got their numbers from. It's been floating around Facebook for a couple days now. The things people are saying in response to it range from logical to absurd to terrifying.
http://i.imgur.com/edeoBA2.jpg The best (ie, stupidest) comment was that Toronto is the worst city for homicides because they had 57 of them and most of them involved guns. :rolleyes: Thunder Bay's homicides just involved people's girlfriends, sons and boyfriends who had been drinking alcohol... |
Saw US stats this morning most cities are down to around 34 40 per 100,000 . But shooting were up. I think Huston had a 1000 shootings. Make the Canadain numbers look fantastic.

Their numbers are wrong too. Winnipeg had 25 murders in 2014, which actually leads to a higher murder rate per 100k people than their "per capita" number. And based on 35 murders, Edmonton's 100k rate is even higher than Winnipeg's. I can only assume they used Edmonton and Winnipeg's metro populations, which is exactly the kind of fuck up I'd expect from people who don't understand what per capita means. It's no surprise the comments you're reading are stupid, vid, when dumb-dumbs like that put out the news. Mind telling me what station it was so I can personally make fun of the bone heads? |
I wonder if would make sense to have an adjusted murder rate (as well as an actual rate). You had a lot of mass murders last year.
You had 3 RCMP offers shot in Moncton The stabbings in Calgary that left 5 dead and the shooting last week in Edmonton that left 8 dead. If there was a mass murder count it as one murder with the adjusted rate. |
