Time served or not, what's wrong with warning future partners/potential victims of a perpetrator's past violence vs women/girls & their propensity for femicide? If there isn't an official register for femicide & gender-based crimes, then it's up to us to have an unofficial one. Lives depend on it.

I'm without words. Moved the body to Manitoba, only disclosed to undercover police 3 years later and now living in a seniors home? I mean, I guess at least there was a trial this time. #CallitFemicide #MMIWG #VAWG
