Judge issues caution against politicizing inquest into inmate’s death
5 minute read 6:00 AM CSTAn inquest into the case of an inmate who died following an hours-long standoff with corrections officers is one step closer after a judge granted standing to six parties who will be allowed representation in the proceeding.
William Ahmo, 45, died in hospital on Feb. 14, 2021. Seven days earlier, the Sagkeeng First Nation man was shackled, pinned to the ground, placed in a “spit hood” and strapped into a restraint chair in the common area of his unit after a three-hour standoff at the Headingley Correctional Centre.
At a one-hour hearing Tuesday, provincial court Judge Victoria Cornick granted standing to Ahmo’s family, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Manitoba Corrections, Shared Health, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and the John Howard Society.
Inquests are called when someone dies as the result of force used by a peace officer or when the death occurs while in custody.
