The brother of Karlton Dean Reimer, the man accused of killing two people last week at a home near Lorette, Man., says Reimer has a history of serious mental illness and drug addiction, and that more should have been done to help him.
CBC News has identified Dennis and Bernadette Lidgett as the victims of last Thursday’s double homicide. Both were in their 70s and described to CBC News as a kind, friendly couple.
Reimer is now facing second-degree murder charges in connection with their deaths.
