@dotr, @Kbeb - very interesting observations, I couldn't agree more.

Howard Richmond, 50, was charged with first-degree Saturday morning in an Ottawa court for the slaying of his wife, Melissa Richmond, 28. A publicity ban was imposed on further details of the case. Melissa Richmond’s partially clothed body was found in a ditch near a South Keys shopping...
