VANCOUVER - Two men found guilty of British Columbia s most notorious gang killings will be allowed to argue the case should be thrown out because their rights were violated by police and correctional officers.
Matthew Johnston and Cody Haevischer were each convicted of six counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the so-called Surrey Six slayings, in which the men killed four members of a rival gang and two bystanders in October 2007 in Surrey, B.C.

VANCOUVER The guilty verdicts have been upheld for two men serving life sentences in connection with the province s deadliest gang shooting, a B.C. Court of Appeal judge ruled Thursday. A judgment posted online provided few details about the decision, saying that the reasons are being withheld for now because there is an order sealing the court file to protect confidential information. However, the judges wrote, None of the grounds of appeal that would have resulted in a new trial are upheld, and the verdicts of guilt are affirmed. An abbreviated version of the reasons will be posted when available.

There’s still a solid layer of snow on the ground when I meet Seleta and Mike Nothnagel at their Wellington home. Wiping my boots on a mat that says “Welcome to the Farm” doesn’t seem to help much and I ask if they’d like me to take them off before coming in.
“Oh lord, no,” Seleta Nothnagel said. “We
require shoes in this house.”
That’s because in addition to three dogs and two cats, the Nothnagel residence is also home to a half dozen chickens. Right off the kitchen, in what usually would be the dining room, sit two indoor coops for the birds, who are roaming around the living room wearing cloth diapers.
The conspiracy itself was by its nature so dangerous, so callous and so fraught with risk that it in fact resulted in six deaths, rather than one, she said. Each man had a chance for sober second thought, she said, but despite recognizing others would be collateral damage they carried out the plan. The behaviour of both offenders in this regard was, in normative terms, off any scale that could be used. Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston were each found guilty in October of conspiracy and six counts of first-degree murder. The sentences pronounced Friday were automatic and expected, but the proceedings provided an opportunity for the presentation of nine victim-impact statements.
