Posted on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 11:32 AM
The
New Brunswick Police Commission will be probing the Saint John police's
investigation into the murder of Richard Oland, whose bludgeoned body
was discovered in his investment firm office in uptown Saint John on
July 7, 2011.
The commission is going to be appointing an investigator to review the murder investigation at the request of the chair of the Saint John Board of Police Commisioners, Nicole Paquet.
Richard Oland's son, Dennis Oland, was convicted of second-degree murder in his death this weekend. During his final instructions to the jury at the trial, Justice Jack Walsh reminding jurors that there was evidence that police didn't secure the scene from too many unncessary entries on July 7, 2011, as well, that officers used the washroom on the second-floor outside Richard Oland's office for two days, didn't make sure the back door to the alleyway was untouched until it was examined, and did not ask the pathologist if a drywall hammer could be the murder weapon.
Any results and recommendations from this review will be passed along to the Minister of Public Safety, Stephen Horsman, for consideration.
As well, the NB Police Commission activating its Police Act investigation into the allegation made against Deputy Chief Glen McCloskey during the second-degree murder trial of Dennis Oland.
Police Chief John Bates ordered a Professional Standards Investigation to be carried out after allegations made by retired Saint John police officer Mike King against McCloskey.
King testified that the Deputy Chief suggested he lie about McCloskey being in the Far End Corporation office with the body of Richard Oland on July 7th 2011.
The investigator, Mr. Barry McKnight, now has less then 6 months to conclude his investigation and report to the Police Commission.
Deputy Chief Glen McCloskey has denied the allegation.
