FOG BLOG CANADA LOG: B.C. WOMAN KILLED IN MEXICO, CANADIAN MAN CHARGED WITH HER MURDER!

B.C. woman killed in Mexico in ‘suspected femicide’ A 26-year-old Canadian man has been detained in Mexico in the suspected femicide of a woman who has been identified by family members as Kiara Agnew of Dawson Creek, B.C.

Agnew was with her boyfriend on what was supposed to be a dream trip to Mexico when her family said the Mayan Riviera vacation turned into a nightmare just days shy of her 24th birthday.

“She didn’t want to lose her life at 23,” Agnew’s aunt Katlyn Levesque told Global News from New Brunswick Saturday.

“It doesn’t feel like it’s real yet, I don’t want it to be real. I’ve never wanted something to be more false in my entire life.”

Levesque, who said Agnew grew up in New Brunswick before moving to Dawson Creek as a teen, last spoke with her niece over Snapchat Thursday evening.

Hours earlier, Agnew and her boyfriend had arrived in Playa del Carmen, where Levesque said the couple had planned to go sailing, snorkelling, and visit the Mayan Ruins.

The next day, Agnew’s family in Canada was notified of her death.

“It’s not something that I would ever want anyone to ever have to go through,” Levesque said.

“She had so much life left to live and it’s not fair that that was robbed from her.” In a tweet Friday, The Mexican Secretariat of Public Security said Solidarity SSPyT police officers “insured a person of foreign origin for the possible crime of femicide, after a lifeless woman was found with possible marks of violence in a hotel located in the Xcalacoco neighbourhood.”

“She was found in one of the laundry rooms, [the] alleged suspect was found beside her sleeping,” Levesque told Global News.

“To all women, you know, if he hurts you, that’s not love and if it happens once, please don’t give him a second chance.”

Global Affairs Canada confirmed it’s aware of the death of a Canadian citizen and the detention of another Canadian citizen in Mexico, and consular officials are providing assistance to the families while liaising with local authorities.

Dawson Creek, which is home to just over 12,000, is in shock over the news.
