Murray Wood: The public has a right to know details when someone is killed by police
Imagine living in a country where police shoot and kill someone, then don't tell the public who it was. Well, that's wha...
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested and charged in connection with Regina’s eighth murder of 2015.
The youth, who cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with second degree murder. He is accused of killing 48 year old Matthew John Wells. Wells’ body was found in the early morning hours of Oct. 22 in the 1500 block of Robinson Street.
The youth is also facing charges for two separates incidents that occurred on the same night.
Just after police found Wells dead, gun shots were fired at an apartment in the 2200 block of Robinson Street. No one was injured. Also, police believe a reported arson and theft from a vehicle that night is connected with the other incidents.
The 15-year-old will make his first court appearance on a number of charges on Dec. 24.
