Saskatchewan’s justice minister says it was an unintended consequence that police would withhold the names of homicide victims when they were brought under provincial privacy laws.
Don Morgan said that’s why the government recently amended a regulation to spell out that police forces are in fact permitted to name murder victims.
“It’s in the public interest to have people know that a homicide has taken place and to know who the victim is.”
