https://globalnews.ca/news/10479608/strangulation-signals-deadly-domestic-violence-police/ According to a 2024 release from the Institute on Strangulation Prevention published by Ottawa police, a person who has suffered a non-fatal strangulation incident with their intimate partner is 750 per cent more likely to be killed by the same offender. “Strangulation has been identified as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence and sexual violence; unconsciousness may occur within seconds and death within minutes,” according to the institute. A release detailing the DPCP and SPVM’s initiative says it will also ensure that partner organizations, like the Crime Victims Assistance Centres (CAVAC), will offer victims more support and give them information about the different symptoms they might experience in the hours and days after the assault. Montreal police say the project is based on similar initiatives in the U.S., and if it shows success, the force will deploy it across the city and share its training and findings with other police forces.
I know but allegations date back to Jan. 12, 2024.
