EDMONTON – A judge has dismissed a request for a judicial review of an Edmonton police decision not to charge a man with killing a 13-year-old boy at a transit station.
Justice Wayne Renke also rejected a review of Crown prosecutors in the case.
Eric Omeasoo died in February of last year, after he was stabbed on the MacEwan light rail transit platform.
Police have said that while his death was ruled a homicide, charges wouldn’t be laid as there was evidence he was killed in self-defence.
His family disputed what happened and demanded police share evidence with them.
Late last year, the family was in court to provide evidence they collected to support their allegation of abuse of process in the case.
