It's sad really as often you will see families that will believe their kid regardless of the evidence against them. It's a built in intuition that you can't judge from a distance really. It would be hard to see your child, raise him, feed him, love him, then be forced to watch him go through...

Leeming Hearing is today, anyone going?

I can confirm that a hearing is set for May 14th, but there's a good chance his lawyers are going to try and stretch out every hearing/court date possible to get him out of the spotlight. The longer it drags on the better for him, so hopefully they set a plea or trial date soon. I'm guessing...

Otto, do you know where I can find a court schedule online? The only one I found is a PDF that is password protected and I can't crack it, very well encrypted.

From what I read on the UK article his dad owns a business and likely makes good money. The guy drives a fairly new Mercedes SUV, so I'm sure somebody is helping to feed him.

Yes ASERT was on-site to arrest him the first time, but don't know about yesterday.

Here's some more info on the ex-wife and some of the history there: Estranged wife of Brit double murder suspect says he terrified her Reallllllly good read here, shows a lot of what he did in the past, like leaving their son in a vehicle in the freezing cold and leaving him home alone as a...

Here's some interview footage I didn't see before: Not sure where it comes from, but there is quite a bit that wasn't included in the released version.

Yeah it's very tricky to get 1st degree to stick, again because you have to prove beyond doubt that the accused pre-meditated the murder, plotted it out and went through with it. Even if it's obvious that it was a planned attack, if you can't prove it in court, then 1st degree won't stick and...

Targeted is only really used to differentiate between random murder or "targeted" murder. As in she was the intended target of the suspect.

Highly unlikely that he would be deported. There was a case where a man was already slated to be deported, then murdered someone and was sentanced to prison in Canada where he remains. CPS won't hand this guy over to the UK... he's a permanent resident, tax payer that killed two people in...

He's going to get 2 x 2nd degree murder charges. I don't think they will go for 1st degree even for Aliyah. Police would have to prove that he planned both or either murder beforehand. That can be difficult to prove after the fact, especially with no surviving witnesses. Let's hope he gets...

Leeming said he had a job, but was fired the morning before he was arrested. Lives in a townhouse, but it's not worth a ton of money. Not sure how he got his hands on a vehicle like that... could be his parents have money and helped him out?

Looking at the Sara Baillie murder from 2016: "A jury found Edward Downey, 49, guilty last year of first-degree murder in the 2016 deaths of Sara Baillie and five-year-old Taliyah Marsman. The convictions come with an automatic life sentence, but Justice Beth Hughes is to decide whether Downey...

We don't have the death penalty in Canada. This is Alberta Canada and he will likely face life without the chance of parole for 30-50 years. My hope is that they place him in Bowden Prison general population. You can be sure that everyone in there will know who he is and make the rest of his...
