"In the early morning hours of Sept. 4, 2007, Peter Lee stabbed to death his wife, Sunny Park, their six-year-old son, Christian, and his in-laws before killing himself.
Lee was on bail at the time after being charged earlier that summer with aggravated assault following a car crash. Park told police her husband had intentionally crashed the car in an attempt to kill her after she told him she wanted a divorce.
An inquest later heard that in the six weeks between the crash and the killings, Park was bounced to three different police departments and several victim services agencies in the region in her attempts to get help.
In December 2009, the inquest jury delivered 14 recommendations. It called for the amalgamation of the Victoria region’s patchwork of police departments and the establishment of special regional domestic violence units across the province that bring together police, corrections and social services staff, such as child-support workers and victim services workers. It also called for risk assessments before someone is released on bail." http://www.canada.com/Dying+heard+Lessons+from+child+tragedies+still+unheeded+experts/9399863/story.html
