Let's remember Kelly Ann Drummond in our prayers

Kelly Ann Drummond, 24, succumbed last night to wounds suffered when she was attacked in a Pierrefonds apartment Sunday night.

Martin Morin-Cousineau, 30, appeared in Quebec Court yesterday afternoon and was charged with attempting to murder Drummond. He would return to court today to face a charge of second-degree murder, Constable Miguel Alston, a police spokesperson, said yesterday.

An ambulance was called to an apartment block on Pierrefonds Blvd., near Nanterre St., where they found Drummond in cardiac arrest.

She had been stabbed in the back.

The two incidents occurred a week after Statistics Canada released a report indicating the spousal homicide rate in the country dropped by eight per cent in 2003. Last year in Canada, 64 men killed their wives and 14 women killed their husbands.

Yesterday's deaths were the 33rd and 34th homicides reported in Montreal this year. There were 34 reported during the corresponding period last year.

Kelly Ann was Pam's classmate in Elementary school, going back to their Kindergarten grade. They both went to the same high school as well.

I drove Pam and Allen last night to the Montreal General Hospital. Pam was able to see Kelly Ann at the ICU. She was already brain dead then. Kelly Ann passed away early this morning.

Pam did not go to work today to meet with other former classmates (Sabrina and others) to help in contacting other former classmates and teachers, to let them know about the funeral / memorial service.

Ironic for us who knew Tammy Shaikh, who was beaten and stabbed to death by her former husband, Tommy Kane, whose (Tommy's) case in the court is just winding down towards his sentencing, and here, again, we hear and read another story of violence against women.

God bless you as you pray.

Tommy's sentencing
