TORONTO A new unit with Peel Regional Police, which aims to better protect victims of intimate partner violence, was spurred in part by the tragedy of a young woman killed during the pandemic. Darian Henderson-Bellman, 25, was shot and killed in July 2020. The Halton Hills woman had been involved with a Brampton man, who is now 28. He faces first-degree murder in connection with her death. Henderson-Bellman’s memory is all around her grandparents. They wear masks with her image, keep her ashes around their necks, have a memorial in their garden and painted her name on the garage roof. “[Life is] very, very empty. We’re only just realizing we’re without her. We’re just coming to grips with that now,” said her grandmother Flo Bellman.
