On June 30, 2021, a Violent Domestic Assault took place at the Durham Conservation Area campground.

The victim suffered severe facial injuries after being struck with a weapon, and was then prevented from leaving or seeking medical attention by the accused.

The victim attended a Guelph medical centre the next day and police were notified.

As a result of a joint investigation by the Guelph Police Service and the West Grey Police Service a suspect was identified.

On July 18, 2021, 28-year-old man from Guelph was arrested and charged with:

  • Aggravated Assault 
  • Assault with a Weapon
  • Forcible Confinement

The accused was held in custody pending a Bail Hearing and was later released by the Ontario Court of Justice on a Recognizance of Bail.

“Everyone has the right to live in safety and with dignity, free from intimidation and the threat of violence.”

If you have experienced, or are experiencing domestic violence, you can get help by: 

  • calling a provincial crisis line
  • going to a safe shelter 
  • contacting a Sexual Assault or Domestic Violence Treatment Centre

 


At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
