(Lawyer Bob Buckingham.)
The lawyer representing an Inuit man killed at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary last year says charges against several guards in the case have been a long time coming.
33-year-old Jonathan Henoche died last November while awaiting trial for the murder of 88-year-old Regula Schule, a respected community leader in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Henoche was approached by correctional officers during an incident at HMP on November 6 of last year. He was eventually taken to the SHU or “special handling unit” but died a short time later. His death was ruled a homicide.
Bob Buckingham represents the family of Jonathan Henoche.
