Desmond Inquiry Set to Conclude Next Week

The Desmond Fatality Inquiry is set to continue in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court next week.

The inquiry will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday starting at 9:30am where we will hear closing submissions.

Later this year, Judge Warren Zimmer will release a written report on his findings and recommendations.

33 year old Lionel Desmond was an Afghan vet. He was diagnosed with PTSD in 2011 as well as major depression and a possible traumatic brain injury.

In January 2017, Desmond entered his family’s home dressed in camouflaged clothing and shot his wife, their 10-year-daughter and his 52-year-old mother, before turning the gun on himself.
