Derek Saretzky’s lawyer argues one of murder convictions came due to confession improperly obtained by police

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Balfour Der, defence lawyer for Derek Saretzky, speaks to reporters at the Calgary Court Centre, in Calgary on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2016. Saretzky, who killed a father, his two-year-old daughter and a senior in the Crowsnest Pass in 2015, wants one of his convictions thrown out.

“It was a confession taken without telling him about his right to speak to a lawyer,” Der said Monday outside court. “He should have been told about prior to getting that confession.” Meketech was killed in her home in September 2015. During the trial, the jury was shown videotaped confessions in which Saretzky told police it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to kill Meketech – who knew his grandparents – because he didn’t think anyone cared about her.

From Singapore to U.K. via the Alps: how one man spread coronavirusA British man managed to pass on the coronavirus to at least 11 other people without ever setting foot in the epicentre of the outbreak in China, in an infectious journey that shows how the deadly virus can spread rapidly around a globalized world. This headline makes it sound like a movie title. It is also shocking to hear just how virulent the disease is.
