HALIFAX — Court documents released today describe the violence a Nova Scotia mass killer inflicted on his father years before his rampage as well as the gunman’s growing paranoia before the outburst of killings.
In documents that a media consortium, including The Canadian Press, went before a provincial court judge to obtain, Wortman’s spouse and cousin both describe how in 2016 he smashed his father’s head against the pool during a family vacation in the Caribbean.
The May 5 police application for a search warrant quotes a cousin, who was a retired RCMP officer, telling investigators that the killer was “a strange little guy” when they were growing up, and he’d come to believe Wortman was a career criminal capable of killing others.
