US EditionDaughter of Wrongfully Convicted N.S. Man Says Grief Grows without Probe of Police
- Glen Assoun was released after nearly 17 years in federal prison when a Nova Scotia court cleared him in March 2019 of charges related to the death of his former partner, Brenda Lee Way, which occurred in 1995.
- His wrongful conviction and lengthy imprisonment prompted demands for an official investigation into possible illegal actions by RCMP officers who destroyed evidence connected to his case.
- Despite the Nova Scotia police watchdog arranging for British Columbia’s counterpart to investigate in 2021, the B.C. agency dropped the case in late 2023 due to heavy workloads.
- Assoun died at age 67 about two years ago after developing heart and mental illnesses, and his daughter Amanda Huckle says ongoing delays in the investigation intensify her grief before his June burial.
- Police oversight director Erin Nauss said the case remains a priority and hopes to announce a decision soon, while Huckle vows not to give up despite years of stalled progress.
