Killed and dumped in river: Tina Fontaine’s voice heard in Winnipeg courtroom
WINNIPEG — The voice of a slain 15-year-old girl echoed through a courtroom Monday more than three years after her death renewed calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women.
“Hey, um, I’d like to report a blue truck that was stolen earlier today,” Tina Fontaine said in a 911 call played at the trial of the man accused of killing her.
She was told to call the police non-emergency line.
“That was Tina,” Thelma Favel, the great-aunt who raised her, testified as she sobbed deeply.
