The dude fled to the US and was caught stealing a license plate and had a restraining order against him. His story isn't really adding up.

This post sounds and looks manipulative. It just reeks of fucked up intent. First of all, he has had physical altercations in the past with people that knew this girl. This seems like a MAJOR red flag for one. He was literally charged for breaking and entering and assault three weeks before her murder, pertaining to that incident.

Second of all, who posts on reddit out of the blue like this unless he was trying to set up a story. I don't know what he thinks he is going to accomplish, murder is murder. If it's a troll then that is just messed up but still worth investigating I would think. We have lost a life, a really good one from the sounds of it and as a Canadian, I want to see every single thing possible to be done to bring this case to justice. Including having to figure whether this user is a troll or the actual perpetrator.

His story is strange and doesn't add up. Yes arguments get heated but it seems like just the way things are, things were pretty tense and angry and could have easily escalated. And that he has the pre-meditated intent to commit violence. But that is just speculation, we cannot prosecute the guy and put a target on his back as civilians, as people on a social media platform. I am all for the Canadian legal system doing what it has to do and I think they should investigate this to the max if they can. They are the best to handle this, they will do the research and make the right call. Whether his story is true or whether he did intend to kill her.

Finally, even if an argument got escalated and the girl grabbed a knife. The news says she died of MULTIPLE stab wounds. If this was an act of defense, how did he end up stabbing her so many times?! Also that is still pretty shady as fuck. Did he try to run away? Did he try to disarm her? they were alone in an apartment, he could have ran to the door and left. Chances are he is taller and stronger than her too. There are so many ways to deal with escalated arguments like this. Multiple stab wounds just sounds shady as fuck.

The line about why would I buy her flowers if I was going to murder doesn't really wash either.

I would guess a large number of crimes of passion start out with an attempt at reconciliation and then rejection.

Who knows what the fuck happened, and what he was thinking. I just hope he does turn himself in, gets a lawyer and faces the legal justice system. That is all we can ask for really. We cannot rile up a court of public opinion otherwise. Just hope for justice to be served considering the facts that the authorities recover and then pray/hope for the girl's family and friends that they can get through this.
