The friends and family members of murder victim Ele Anthonysz are planning to hold a protest rally on Sunday.
The group is protesting the transfer of Walter Ramsay – the man who murdered Anthonysz – from Kent Institution (maximum security) to Mission Institution (medium security).
The rally is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to noon in front of Mission Institution (8751 Stave Lake St.).
Anthonysz, 33, was murdered on April 17, 2015 after her Hatzic-area home was set ablaze in the middle of the night. Two children also sustained injuries in the blaze.
Ramsay pleaded guilty to the crimes and in April of 2016 was handed a life sentence with no possibility of parole for 20 years.
Organizers of the rally are hoping to have the transfer overturned and have Ramsay sent back to maximum security. They say they have already contacted MP Jati Sidhu’s office regarding the transfer.
Organizers are encouraging the public to attend the rally.
