A fatality inquiry in Nova Scotia has uncovered more issues surrounding domestic violence in treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in military members.

It stems from the murder-suicide of Lionel Desmond, his wife, mother, and daughter five years ago.

The inquiry, which started hearing testimony in January 2020, has heard the former infantryman’s firearms licence was suspended in December 2015 after he was arrested in New Brunswick under the province’s Mental Health Act.

Ross Lord reports.
