A victim services co-ordinator who worked with two of three women killed by their former partner in eastern Ontario is sharing details
about the cases at a coroner’s inquest hearing. Carol Culleton, Nathalie Warmerdam, and Anastasia Kuzyk, were killed on their properties in the Renfrew County area on Sept. 22, 2015 by Basil Borutski who had a known history of violence against women. Faye Cassista with Victim Services of Renfrew County supported Warmerdam and Kuzyk prior to their deaths. Cassista says after the 2015 triple homicide, a lot of women in Renfrew County were “terrified” to leave their abusive partners because they were worried they would face a similar fate of the three victims.
