Commenting on the April 25 press conference of the RCMP, in which it announced to have charged two Berwick-area men with Harley Lawrance’s murder, Ron Lawrence alleged that “it has been open-ended for the last six months and it has been long.” He added that “if somebody dies from a car accident, you know what they died from, this here is unknown.”
Upon inquiry if he thinks the charges would mean justice for his brother who lived on the streets of Berwick before his death on Oct. 23, 2013 in a fire at a Commercial Street bus shelter, Ron answered that “he’d be glad of the outcome, I think.” He added that “knowing that whoever did this to him will be held accountable for it.” Speaking on behalf of the family, Ron alleged that the charges “show that the RCMP did their homework and that they had enough evidence.” Ron admitted that justice is still a long way to go and patience is necessary meanwhile. He alleged that “it’s still a long road now before we actually find out what happened” and so “for the safety of the court case that they’ve got against them, we have to keep calm.”
Ron confirmed that members of the family have planned to be present in court at the time of hearing of Surette and Fredericks. Open Arms’ pastor John Andrew, whose street ministry had provided services to Harley, cautioned that the judicial process is “going to be a long, painful journey.”
