Husband of Naomi Onotera charged with manslaughter, indignity to human remains

Husband charged with manslaughter.

It’s interesting that the name of her husband as reported isn’t the name I’d seen shared online previously. This may mean nothing, internet can be like that, or it could be relevant. We’ll have to wait and see.

I’m very glad they have made progress though. I don’t think there was ever any doubt that something terrible had happened to this woman or that he was highly likely to be responsible.

I’m intrigued to know how Coquitlam features too. His story about his reasons for going there were never believable.

I wonder why they haven't released where she was found?

This article popped up for me and has a lot of detail about the crime and the lengths he went to dispose of NOs body (put her in a backpack and took two buses and a cab with their child in tow to try to put her in the Fraser). I have no idea how this was decided to be manslaughter but ok.

And it looks like with time already served, he will serve only about 12 more years in prison. That's shockingly low, imo, especially since the court was decrying domestic violence. If you're actually against DV, sentence the murderous husband to more than 16 years (only 11 of which were for the actual DV; the other 5 years are for desecration of a corpse). Naomi's family is not happy & I can see why. It seems so inadequate as a sentence.

Much too lenient.

30 years minimum would be a great start!

Well, in Canada the maximum prison sentence is 25 years to life (for first degree murder), so 16 years for manslaughter is quite a lot under Canadian law.

Yes, and with all due respect and as a Canadian citizen myself (although I don't live in Canada at the moment), I think that in this case the Canadian law is too lenient. I grew up not far from where this horrendous crime took place and have driven past the memorial to Naomi on 200th Street in South Langley numerous times on visits to see family here.
