Halifax Regional Police has recently arrested two suspects for questioning regarding the Rehtaeh Parsons case. Police reports that the two suspects were arrested at around 8 a.m. in the morning from their respective homes in result of an elaborative investigation handled by the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police Criminal Investigation Division.
While the two suspects remain in police custody and are being questioned, RCMP Cpl. Scott MacRae explained that the police are only allowed to keep the two under arrest for only 24 hours, after which they will either have to charge them or release them. MacRae alleged that he does not have any information about the identity or the age of the two suspects arrested, though he explained that they were identified through cell phone pictures of the alleged assault against Rehtaeh. These arrests have been made only a day after a new law was implemented, allowing tough legislative action against cyberbullying in Nova Scotia.
Leah Parsons, mother of the deceased Rehtaeh Parsons, revealed that police informed her about the arrests at almost 8:10 a.m., and claims to have known the suspects and alleged that they were “at the heart” of the incident, while refusing to identify them. She stated that “I felt a little bit of relief, just to say, finally — like I hope — they keep saying they want to tell their side of the story, but they have never given a statement. The police have never spoken to them in all this time. So at least, here is your chance. Tell your side of the story.”
