Judge dismisses appeal for driver convicted of striking child in Saanich crosswalk

Tenessa Rayann Nikirk was convicted of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and sentenced to two years in prison for striking Leila Bui with her vehicle, throwing the child 26 metres.

 

Times Colonist - January 25, 2022

 

A Victoria woman convicted of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in a 2017 crash that left an 11-year-old girl catastrophically injured surrendered herself Tuesday afternoon after a B.C. judge dismissed her appeal.

Tenessa Rayann Nikirk was convicted in January 2020 and sentenced nearly a year later on Dec. 21, 2020, to two years in prison for striking Leila Bui with her vehicle, throwing the child 26 metres. Leila became wedged under an oncoming car. She ­suffered severe brain damage, a fractured neck and a lacerated spleen.

Nikirk spent two weeks in custody at the Alouette Correctional Centre for Women, and was released on $5,000 bail on Jan. 5, 2021, with conditions that include not driving. Her appeal, filed eight days after her sentencing, was dismissed by B.C.’s highest court Tuesday.

Nikirk was required to surrender herself Tuesday to begin serving her sentence. She did so around 2:30 p.m., said her lawyer, Donald McKay.

Shoplifter Arrested While Officers Speak With Store Staff About Ongoing Shoplifting Issue

 

Date: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 - File: #22-3098

 

Victoria, BC – Two VicPD officers, who were in their full duty uniform at a store in Mayfair Mall responding to a series of shoplifting incidents, arrested a man who attempted to shoplift in front of them.

 

At approximately 12:40 p.m. on Tuesday, January 25^th, two VicPD officers were speaking with staff at a store in the 3100-block of Douglas Street. Staff have recently faced several brazen shoplifting incidents, including a daytime robbery in which a staff member was assaulted. Both officers were wearing their full duty uniform, complete with shoulder crests, duty belts and “VICTORIA POLICE” emblazoned on their duty vests.

 

While officers were speaking with staff, one of them observed a man walking in a hurried manner, head lowered, with a packaged partially hidden under his jacket. The man walked past the cash registers and exited the store.

Officers caught up with the man and upon stopping him, discovered he had just stolen product from the store. He was arrested without incident.

 

The man was released pending a future court date with conditions including a condition banning him from mall property.

 

The property was returned to the store.

Sounds like a Darwin Award nominee.

[Victoria Watcher]

And he probably lives at Tally Ho or 3020 Blanshard.

[A Girl is No one]

And he will be back tomorrow to get whatever he wanted. I doubt the ban will be executed. How can it be when everyone is walking around with their faces covered up. Add a hoodie and different clothes. Can’t tell anyone apart.

Another addition to the “stabbing of the day” file.

Witnesses recount efforts to help pedestrians at fatal crash scene, describe screaming driver

Aug. 27, 2018 collision on Central Saanich Road; driver is on trial

A Central Saanich man described how he sprinted from a moving car to help a driver involved in what he thought was a terrible single-car accident in August 2018.

“I assumed from the speed that someone was hurt and I thought I had to help them,” Christopher Pennington testified Wednesday at Anthony Thomas’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court.

Thomas has pleaded not guilty to impaired driving and dangerous driving causing the death of Kim Ward and impaired driving and dangerous driving causing bodily harm to her sister, Tracy Ward.

Pennington testified that he was in the back seat of his father’s Acura on the night of Aug. 27, 2018, when he heard his father John say: “What’s this guy doing?”

He looked up and saw a red Jeep cross over the line in the centre of the road and continue to veer over to the left, off the road.

“At no point did it stop,” said ­Pennington. “I didn’t see any brake lights. It just kept going into the ­pedestrians, which I now know, then the bollards.”

Pennington yelled at his father to pull over and sprinted from the car.

 

“The driver was getting out of the vehicle which surprised me because in my head I thought someone was hurt and needed help,” he testified. “I asked: ‘Are you OK? Are you OK?’ He didn’t respond to me. He just had these big blank eyes, not focused, just stared right through me. I asked him again: ‘Are you OK?’ He didn’t respond to me.”

Re: Richmond Multiple Murder

 

Kim Bolan @kbolan

 

IHIT doesn’t quite say tragic Richmond death of 4 was a murder-suicide but does confirm there are no outstanding suspects.

 

“While it is still early in the investigation, this does not appear to be an incident of partner violence,” Sgt. David Lee says.

 

This is a tragic loss of life,” Lee said, adding “but the community is safe as we have confirmed this is an isolated incident and there are no suspects at large.”

 

Someone in the house had a firearms licence, he said. So if not intimate partner violence, is one of the teens who died the shooter? Terrible situation no matter what, but important to determine if some intervention could have saved lives.

There’s absolutely no risk unless you happen to be near one of the stabbers.

There’s absolutely no risk unless you happen to be near one of the stabbers.
