Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi is pleading with federal Justice Minister David Lametti to take “immediate action” on bail reform after a father of seven was stabbed to death in a random attack at an LRT station.
“The system is failing Edmontonians and lives are being lost,” Sohi wrote in a letter to Lametti dated Thursday.
“The challenges that Edmonton is facing requires a systemic response, and the reforms needed to the criminal justice system exist in a broader community safety and wellbeing ecosystem that needs to be strengthened.”
Rukinisha Nkundabatware, 52, died from a stab wound to the chest late Sunday at the Belvedere LRT
