Man accused in fatal Edmonton shooting

CBC is reporting that "A man charged in a fatal Edmonton shooting had finished serving time behind bars for accessory to murder just a few weeks before being accused in a murder case. Jerad Wuttunee, 36, was charged earlier this month in the shooting death of 52-year-old Darrell Demchuk. Court records show Wuttunee was among a group of four adults previously charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two people in January 2021."

"Wuttunee was previously arrested in Vancouver on Jan. 31, 2023 — more than two years after police began investigating a pair of homicides on Edmonton's south side. In that case, 29-year-old Deidre Aldridge and 30-year-old Daniel Grandbois were found dead at a home in the McKernan neighbourhood."

"An agreed statement of facts in the court record says a woman who lived in the home's basement suite reported to police on Jan. 6, 2021, that she'd seen people she didn't know bring a "badly beaten and bloodied" woman downstairs, and on the main floor, she saw a man who was beaten and tied up in a bedroom."

"Police arrived at the house to find the back door open, and the bodies of Aldridge and Grandbois inside. It appeared that they were "being prepared to be removed from the residence," the agreed facts say. Aldridge was hog-tied with an electrical cord and wrapped in a carpet secured with tape, while Grandbois was also wrapped in a carpet with his hands tied behind his back."

"Both victims had numerous injuries, with the cause of death ruled as multiple stab wounds to the head and neck. An autopsy found Aldridge also had blunt force injuries, fractured bones and evidence of neck compression. She'd been stabbed more than 20 times. The case concluded without anyone being found criminally responsible for killing Aldrige or Grandbois."

That is totally f*cked up.
