Emmett Constant says that his brother Everett isn’t a cold-blooded killer — he’s suffering from a mental illness.
Emmett Constant says that his brother Everett isn’t a cold-blooded killer — he’s suffering from a mental illness.
On May 4, 29-year-old Everett Constant was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the death of his mother Beverly Constant in her Prince Albert apartment. This, just hours after being released from police custody for allegedly assaulting a nurse at Victoria Hospital.
At the time, Prince Albert police Chief Patrick Nogier told CTV News that officers looked at the foreseeable risk of releasing Everett after the assault charge, and said they could not have predicted this outcome.
“We did our due diligence,” he said. “We just don’t have a crystal ball to, to determine what’s going to happen at the end of the day after he’d been released.”
But Emmett says his brother was hearing voices telling him to hurt himself and his family for months — and he claims the police were informed.
“My brother was unwell. He was hearing voices. He was very transparent about that,” said Emmett.
