The coroner’s inquest into the death of Haven Dubois continued into its third day with the spotlight on the police investigation.
Regina Police Service (RPS) Sgt. Maria Rupcich testified as the police investigation was brought into question. Rupcich said in her testimony that there were no signs indicating that Haven was forced into the creek in which he was found unresponsive on May 20, 2015, which led the police to conclude that his death was caused by accidental drowning.
Rheana Worme, who represents Haven’s mother Richelle Dubois, said her client is “exhausted” at this point of the public inquest.
