The victims have been forgotten on this forum, all the attention is on the suspects. I have a very small amount of inside knowledge of Dr. Dyck. He was part of the academic, scientific community in BC, very dignified and kind people, everybody knows and cares about everybody else. This is not a violent place, like you see on TV or in the US, and people who loved or even just knew him are still in shock and horror around the extremely violent circumstances of his death, and of the media circus surrounding it. For example, consider that his family only discovered he was dead when they recognized a drawing of his face made after his brutal murder and circulated in the news.
This is a very different reaction to the news than Lucas Fowler's family, who are involved in policework and are familiar with violent death. But it must be respected.
This family has already been massively victimized by the loss of their beloved husband, father, brother. But then they have to endure being revictimized by the publicity surrounding the circumstances, that are to them, deeply emotional, personal and private.
Privacy laws are strong in BC, and the RCMP will not just follow the letter of the law, they wil place the victim's families desire for privacy to grieve, above the public's curiosity, as long as they can.
