A Prince Rupert family of four was killed in June 2023; the father, recently released from mental health detention, murdered his wife and two sons before dying by suicide, with a coroner’s inquest blaming poor interagency communication.
A British Columbia coroner’s inquest concluded that a Prince Rupert family of four was killed in June 2023, with the mother and two young sons murdered and the father dying by suicide.
The father, detained under the Mental Health Act, was released hours after claiming he and his family were targeted, despite carrying bladed weapons and being known to police and social workers.
The jury found that the lack of communication between health and law enforcement agencies could have changed the outcome.
Nine recommendations were made to improve mental health care coordination, training, and follow-up for individuals released from involuntary hospitalization.
No evidence of outside involvement was found.
The inquest ended February 10, 2026.
