The family of a Halifax woman who was allegedly struck and killed by a vehicle driven by her estranged partner this week says the justice system failed to protect her.
On Monday afternoon, police were called to a quiet street in Cole Harbour, N.S.
A Good Samaritan told investigators she intervened when she noticed a woman being held in a vehicle.
She pulled the woman out, but the driver hit the victim with the car and drove away
Thirty-year-old Hollie Boland died later in hospital.
Her long time common law partner, Aaron Daniel Crawley, was arrested shortly after an emergency alert was issued and later charged with first-degree murder.
Court documents reveal the 33-year-old was already facing previous charges for allegedly assaulting Boland - twice - earlier this year.
