Alberta judge calls for changes after man kills wife days after leaving mental health centre
-
An Alberta judge is making 14 recommendations for RCMP and the provincial government after scrutinizing the case of a young mother who was killed by her husband, less than two weeks after he was discharged from a mental health centre.
Brett Fenton stabbed and strangled his wife, Jesslyn Fenton, 25, to death on Nov. 2, 2018, in their Galahad, Alta., home, about 150 kilometres east of Red Deer.
Justice William Andreassen with the Alberta Court of Justice concluded in a fatality inquiry report publicly released Thursday that more robust discharge policies, mandatory training for police and recruiting psychiatrists who live in the communities where they work could prevent similar deaths.
