Rcmp Officers Involved In Ns Mass Shooting Investigation Linked To Gaps In Previous Murder Case

The Mass Casualty Commission leading the investigation into the April 2020 mass shooting that killed 22 people released new information on Monday about the officers involved in the Susie Butlin case. Butlin of Tatamagouche, NS, was shot and killed by her neighbor Ernie (Junior) Duggan months after she reported him to the RCMP for sexual assault and harassment. Her case was discussed at the inquiry during committees on police oversight and gender-based violence and occurred in the same Colchester RCMP precinct where the Portapique mass shooting began. Jennifer Cox, counsel for the commission, said Monday that the inquiry has finally received a copy of an internal police review of the RCMP’s handling of the Butlin case with the officers’ names prominently displayed. Cox said the RCMP initially blocked the names because it was “unilaterally decided to be irrelevant to the commission’s work,” but they pushed back and a full report of the officers’ names was presented. That delay in releasing the officers’ names affected the commission’s ability to do its job as it interviewed some officers or brought them in to testify, Cox said. “We may have missed some opportunities to question them at that time,” Cox told the committee on Monday.

(The Canadian Press/Andrew Vaughan) Cox also noted other situations, reports and investigations across Canada where she said the RCMP destroyed information they deemed irrelevant, such as the Colton Boushie review, or disclosed it too late to act. “This is something that has been a process that has a consistent pattern and has an impact on things like this committee,” Cox said. The Butlin case came into focus during an inquiry roundtable discussion last month. Various experts have suggested that members of the RCMP involved in Butlin’s case appear to have had a fundamental misunderstanding of consent that affected the rest of their interactions with her. One of the officers involved in the Butlin case was Const. Stuart Beselt, who led the team that walked through Portapique in search of the mass shooter on April 18, 2020. RCMP Const. Stuart Bezelt, one of the first officers on the scene in Portapique, NS, puts a question to the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry into mass killings during his testimony in Halifax in March. (Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press) Butlin’s review, completed in 2018, said Beselt responded to an incident at Duggan’s home on August 21, 2017. That night, his wife April Duggan called police to say she was worried that Duggan was going to kill Butlin after he became “enraged” about the peace petition she had filed against him at the suggestion of the RCMP. She reported that Duggan had kicked in a door to their home and might get a gun. Bezelt went to Duggan’s house with Const. Rodney MacDonald, who also later participated in the mass shooting response and helped establish a containment in Portapique on April 18. Both officers found Dugan, who had been drinking, and told officers he would “never hurt anybody.” MacDonald left to speak with April Duggan. Beselt then went next door to speak to Butlin but the review said the conversation was not documented. Soon after that, police discovered Duggan was driving his truck and he was arrested and charged with impaired driving. The review said that investigation was incomplete and there appeared to be “very concerning” information from the August 21 incident that was “overlooked or not acted upon”, including how police did not take a statement from April Duggan about what he heard or saw and there was no follow-up to determine if Duggan actually had a firearm.

Wiley handled the harassment report

The committee interviewed Beselt last July before he gave evidence to the inquiry in March, but was never asked about his role in the Butlin case. MacDonald was not asked about his involvement when he was interviewed by the committee last September either. Another officer on the Butlin case, Const. Greg Wiley, visited the mass shooter more than a dozen times in the years before the mass shooting and was asked to investigate the gunman’s threats to kill his parents in 2010. The review said that when Butlin called the RCMP on Aug. 26, 2017 to report harassing messages from Duggan trying to intimidate her into leaving the peace bond, Wiley was appointed as the lead investigator. Wylie discussed the messages with Butlin and decided there was no basis for criminal charges to be laid. He also told Butlin’s to block Duggan on Facebook. “Given the ongoing events since the initial sexual assault complaint, these allegations should have been taken seriously and a thorough investigation conducted,” the review said, including obtaining copies of the messages and speaking with Duggan. “Without taking these steps it is impossible to review and determine whether any allegations of harassment or bullying are warranted,” the review said. The committee already interviewed Wiley last June and is expected to testify at the inquiry next week. Suzanne Davis from Truro Heights, NS says she would like to see the interview officers involved in the events that led to the death of her friend Susie Butlin. (Paul Poirier/CBC) One of Butlin’s best friends, Susan Davies, said she knows exactly what she would ask the officers who handled Butlin’s case if given the chance. “I would ask them why they weren’t listening,” Davis said Monday. “They didn’t take her seriously.” Davis said she would like to see Bechelt return to the committee to answer questions about the Butlin case. The commission will take further steps to remedy that situation, Cox said Monday, to see if they can find a way to “overcome the fact that we may have missed opportunities to cross-examine witnesses.” CBC asked if the commission has requested new interviews with Beselt, MacDonald or other RCMP officers involved in the Butlin case and will update this story with any response. The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission, the RCMP’s national watchdog, announced last month that it is also investigating how the Mounties handled the Butlin case that led to her murder.
