SISTER SLAIN MORE ALMOST 13 YEARS BEFORE

Sommer Boudreau's sister Ashley Boudreau was killed nearly 13 years ago, the result of a femicide by her boyfriend, who took his own life.

The bodies of Andrew Ferguson, 33, and Ashley Boudreau, 24, were found inside their Ottawa apartment on Jan. 16, 2010. It's believed Boudreau was stabbed to death several days before her body was found and Ferguson died by suicide.

Police had attended a disturbance call at the address nine days before the couple’s bodies were found. According to the Special Investigations Unit, an investigation found that there was no cause to charge the responding officer with criminal negligence for failing to gain entry into the unit at the time.
