Inquest into deaths of 3 women murdered by Basil Borutski announced
Carol Culleton, Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam died in 2015 killing spree
An inquest will be held into the deaths of Carol Culleton, Anastasia Kuzyk and Nathalie Warmerdam, the three eastern Ontario women murdered by Basil Borutski in what's considered one of the worst cases of domestic violence in Canadian history.
Ontario's Ministry of the Solicitor General announced the inquest Wednesday in order to examine the circumstances surrounding the women's deaths.
"The jury may make recommendations aimed at preventing further deaths," the ministry's news release said.
Culleton, 66, Kuzyk, 36, and Warmerdam, 48, were killed Sept. 22, 2015, in Renfrew County, Ont. All three women had previously been in relationships with Borutski.
