Tragically, the body of Loretta Saunders, of Newfoundland & Labrador, was found this week in New
Brunswick.
Saunders’ aunt, Barb Coffey, said the full impact of the horrific
crime likely won’t sink in until Saunders is brought back home to Labrador.
Saunders, who was a student at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, is from
Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
…
Saunders, 26, was researching missing and murdered aboriginal women for
a thesis and was to graduate this spring.
She intended to become a lawyer with a focus on aboriginal justice.
…
Saunders, who also was connected to Hopedale, disappeared Feb. 13. This
week, police found her body and charged a man and a woman with murder.
…
She was three months pregnant.
Yes, horrific. Two precious and unique individuals became victims
in that senseless act of murder but the trial will altogether ignore one of the
human beings killed.
A remedy of justice would have been provided by Bill C-484
but, alas, Canadians were too paranoid about maintaining the rights of mothers
themselves to kill their unborn children to take action on this bill in
2008.
RIP Loretta and child.
