I'm in Atlantic Canada and I haven't come across any credible news sources saying this is now being treated as a homicide. Thus far, I have chose not to comment at all on this story out of respect for all involved in the tragedy and it being close to home but I'm not convinced that this Australian radio station report is a credible news source and that's a huge accusation to put on a grieving family.
In other newsworthy "news" a meter long ball python was found in a garageApparently the words "seized" and "found" can be used interchangeably. Despite the very poorly written article, the video at least states that BP's are harmless to humans and significantly smaller than the one involved in the N.B. incident...not that it will mean anything to the "snakes are monsters" part of the population.
