News & Politics


In January 1978, RCMP officers Perry Brophy and Barry Lidstone were escorting Bonita Crombie to a trailer in Hoyt, N.B., where her estranged husband lived. Crombie was terrified of her husband. Shortly after the Mounties arrived at the trailer, they were shot to death. It was a shocking crime and one that 40 years later is still used to train RCMP cadets on how to respond to domestic violence calls.
