CALGARY More than 400 cases of COVID-19 are now linked to an outbreak of the illness at the Calgary Remand Centre and the issue has affected how quickly justice is being delivered in some criminal cases. The province says it has been notified of about 413 cases of coronavirus among inmates and staff members at the northwest Calgary correctional facility. There are 170 active cases at the prison and 243 people have recovered. One of the sick inmates is Justin Bennett, the man charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of three-year-old Ivy Wick. Wick, the daughter of Bennett s girlfriend Helen Wordsworth, was admitted to hospital in 2017 suffering from blunt-force trauma. Eight days later, she died.

A murder trial has been derailed after staff at the Calgary Remand Centre triple-bunked inmates, mixing healthy and sick prisoners and causing the accused killer to contract COVID, according to the inmate.
Closing arguments were to take place Friday in Justin Bennett s second-degree murder trial, but to the surprise of lawyers and the judge, he was not brought to court due to the outbreak at the remand centre.
