Warning: This story describes incidents of alleged intimate partner violence that could be upsetting to some readers.
Lisa Andrik-Oland alleged in court documents that Dennis Oland assaulted, terrified and tried to control her before and after he was found not guilty of murdering his father, a prominent Saint John businessman. I do not want to see my ex-husband physically alone because I am scared of him, Andrik-Oland told an officer of the court last June, almost a year after Oland was acquitted in Saint John of second-degree murder.

A Halifax-area man who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a high-profile shooting outside a children s hospital is due to be released from prison later this year.
Aaron Gregory Marriott, 30, has served almost his entire sentence for the attempted murder of Jason Hallett more than 12 years ago.
As part of his release conditions, the Parole Board of Canada has ordered Marriott to stay away from the victim and his family, and to not associate with anyone known to engage in criminal activity. He will also not be permitted to enter bars or nightclubs.
The family of Rodney Levi is hoping a coroner’s inquest into his death later this year will include Mi’kmaq and their traditions.
The lawyer for Levi’s family, Alisa Lombard, tells CBC that hearing this week that the Crown would not lay any charges against the officers involved was devestating like losing him all over again. The prosecution service says there’s no reasonable expectation of a conviction.
Lombard said the family hopes the planned coroner’s inquest in October will reveal if the officers followed protocol. She says Mi’kmaq should be involved in the process and included on the coroner’s jury….and the family will be traditional Mi’kmaq “truth-finding methods” to be used during the inquest.

The Saint John building at the centre of a high-profile homicide investigation and two murder trials is on the market.
A recent real estate listing shows 52 Canterbury Street, a heritage building in the city’s uptown, for sale with a selling price of $550,000
“This is one of Saint John’s showcase, Italianate style, brick building with the grandeur of post and beam construction combined with many upgrades,” reads the listing.
The three-storey building is where the bludgeoned body of Richard Oland was found on the morning of July 7, 2011.
Investigators determined his death was a homicide and arrested his son, Dennis Oland, more than two years later.
A quiet and very exclusive neighborhood.
The house at 58 Gondola Point Rd. was put up for sale after Dennis Oland and his estranged wife, Lisa Andrik-Oland, recently reached a settlement in a family court dispute.
Last summer, Andrik-Oland launched legal action under the Marital Property Act and Family Services Act.
She was seeking an interim order to prevent Oland from selling the family home which featured prominently in the Crown s alleged motive at his murder trials in the 2011 bludgeoning death of his father to preserve her marital interest in the home and three adjacent properties, pending a final determination in the matter.
