Condena por trata, cargos en Lynn Lake y decepción deportiva — Resumen semanal de Winnipeg

49 articulos hace 2 horas 14

🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Cuatro acusados tras la muerte de un hombre hallado herido frente al destacamento de la RCMP en Lynn Lake. La RCMP informó que un hombre de 72 años fue encontrado herido frente al destacamento de Lynn Lake en la mañana del 20 de septiembre y fue declarado muerto; cuatro residentes de Lynn Lake fueron acusados de agresión con lesión corporal y permanecen detenidos mientras los Servicios de Crimen Mayor continúan la investigación.
  2. Expedientes judiciales nombran a cuatro imputados por la muerte del hombre hallado frente al destacamento de la RCMP en Lynn Lake. Los cargos se derivan del mismo incidente del 20 de septiembre en el que fue hallado el hombre de 72 años; la Oficina del Forense Jefe de Manitoba forma parte de la investigación en curso sobre la causa de la muerte.
  3. Hombre de Quebec declarado culpable de trata de personas tras llamar a la víctima casi 1,000 veces. El juez Denis Guénette escribió que Jean‑François D’Asti‑Brideau fue condenado por trata de personas, beneficiarse de las ganancias de la trata, proxenetismo, desobedecer una orden judicial y obstrucción a la justicia, luego de que los fiscales alegaran cerca de 1,000 llamadas en 14 meses; el juez analizó 100 llamadas y determinó que 88 fueron con la víctima.
  4. Revocada la libertad condicional estatutaria de Shawn Lamb, quien admitió haber matado a dos mujeres en Winnipeg en 2012. La noticia confirma que la libertad condicional estatutaria de Shawn Lamb fue revocada tras su admisión de dos homicidios en Winnipeg en 2012; las autoridades judiciales revirtieron la decisión de liberación anticipada según se informó.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Los primeros ministros en su mayoría evitan comentar las propuestas del referéndum constitucional de Alberta. Manitoba y otros primeros ministros rehusaron apoyar públicamente el referéndum de cuatro preguntas de la primera ministra de Alberta, Danielle Smith, previsto para el 19 de octubre, que incluye abolir el Senado y permitir que Alberta elija jueces del King’s Bench y del Court of Appeal; las preguntas del referéndum probablemente requerirían la regla 7/50 y la aprobación federal para surtir efecto.
  2. La abogada de Manitoba Joan Jack gana demanda contra Gowling WLG por honorarios de acuerdo sobre escuelas residenciales. La jueza Shauna McCarthy falló que Gowling incumplió la obligación de presentar las reclamaciones de honorarios de las demandantes ante la Corte Federal después de que Gowling asegurara un acuerdo de $1.5 billion y $55 million en honorarios legales, mientras que Joan Jack —quien presentó la demanda original en 2009— no recibió nada hasta este fallo.
  3. El concejo de Winnipeg aprueba desarrollar una cuarta vía de respuesta 911 para llamadas de salud mental. El concejo aprobó por unanimidad desarrollar el modelo Winnipeg Community Crisis Response (WCCR) que permitirá a los despachadores clasificar llamadas al 911 y derivar las llamadas no violentas por salud mental o adicciones a un equipo WCCR en lugar de policía, bomberos o paramédicos, según el alcalde Scott Gillingham y el comité ejecutivo de políticas.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Los Blue Bombers desperdician una ventaja de 14 puntos y pierden 30-28 ante los Argonauts en Princess Auto Stadium. Winnipeg llegó a ganar 21-7, pero Toronto remontó y se impuso 30-28; el novato Dorian Singer tuvo 113 yardas en seis recepciones en su tercer inicio mientras la ofensiva de los Bombers se estancó en la segunda mitad.
  2. Gol de campo en el final da a los Argonauts la victoria 30-28 sobre Winnipeg; Janarion Grant devuelve un FG fallido 128 yardas. El gol de campo de 36 yardas de Lirim Hajrullahu a 27 segundos del final rompió el empate; Chad Kelly lanzó para 290 yardas y Janarion Grant devolvió un intento fallido de Sergio Castillo 128 yardas para touchdown.
  3. Los Winnipeg Jets aún manejan la ausencia por desacuerdo de Connor Hellebuyck mientras sigue el campamento. El capitán Adam Lowry dijo que el club “todavía tiene muchas piezas buenas” pese a que Hellebuyck se negó a presentarse y fue suspendido indefinidamente, y el delantero Kyle Connor pidió un compromiso total si Hellebuyck regresa.
  4. Jets cortan a cinco más antes del partido de pretemporada final, quedan 26 jugadores sanos en el campamento. Los Jets pusieron a Isaak Phillips, Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford y Noah Gregor en waivers para ser cedidos a los Manitoba Moose de la AHL y asignaron al portero Thomas Milic a los Moose, quedando 15 delanteros, nueve defensas y dos porteros en el campamento.

💼 Economía y negocios

  1. Dueña de tienda en Winnipeg deja de vender cartas de Pokémon tras robo de $2,500 dólares canadienses de unas 20,500 cartas. Terri Settle dice que ladrones entraron por un conducto el 8 de septiembre, rompieron una pared y se llevaron alrededor de 20,500 cartas de Terri’s Trinkets and Toys en el norte de la ciudad, lo que le costó aproximadamente $2,500 dólares canadienses y la llevó a decidir dejar de vender cartas de Pokémon.

🚑 Últimas e incidentes

  1. Registro judicial detalla campaña de trata durante 14 meses realizada mediante llamadas casi diarias. (Esta entrada remite a la condena por trata mencionada arriba.) El patrón de Jean‑François D’Asti‑Brideau de casi 1,000 llamadas desde custodia presionó a su pareja para que siguiera en el trabajo sexual durante 14 meses, según la sentencia del 11 de agosto del juez Denis Guénette.
  2. La RCMP informó que se intentó brindar primeros auxilios tras hallar al hombre herido frente al destacamento de Lynn Lake antes de ser declarado muerto. Oficiales y un guardia de celda localizaron al hombre de 72 años herido el 20 de septiembre, se llamó a los servicios de emergencia y el hombre fue declarado muerto en el lugar; cuatro sospechosos están detenidos por cargos de agresión.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. Mujer de Winnipeg relata públicamente un elaborado fraude romántico tras conocer al sospechoso en Tinder. La mujer, que trabaja con jóvenes vulnerables y no ha sido identificada, dice que ella y el hombre hablaron a diario durante seis semanas; él aseguró poseer una empresa de ciberseguridad y la llevó a Toronto, donde el encuentro presencial luego resultó sospechoso.
