Deaf Father Charged With Killing His Daughter

Deaf father charged with murder in stabbing of 3-year-old daughter.

A Winnipeg man has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly abducting his three-year-old daughter and stabbing her to death Wednesday morning.

Police have charged Frank Nausigimana, 28, with first-degree murder. He is in custody.

In a news release Thursday, Winnipeg police said it was believed that the estranged father abducted his daughter from her mother at knifepoint in her car in the Robertson neighbourhood before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Soon after, officers received a tip and found the man and a vehicle in the area of Jefferson Avenue and King Edward Street.

Police said they found the girl inside, suffering from stab wounds. She was rushed to hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead.

"I can't imagine the grief and the pain family members are experiencing," Const. Jay Murray said at a Thursday news conference. "It's unbelievably horrific."

Murray said emergency personnel provided first aid and did everything they could, and that staff involved were shaken by the experience.

According to Murray, it was a matter of minutes from the time the initial call came in to when police believe the child was fatally injured.

"All this unfolded in an incredibly tight timeframe," he said, suggesting there was no time to issue an Amber Alert.

The mother and father split up soon after their daughter's birth, Murray said, and there hadn't been contact between them in recent months.

Nausigimana and the girl's mother were formerly longtime friends and each a member of Calvary Temple of the Deaf Followship in Winnipeg -- Read more at Deaf Church Reeling In The Wake of Homicide.

Murray declined to provide details when asked if there was a no-contact order in place against the man.

Asked about the broader context of homicides involving young children in Winnipeg in recent years, Murray said there had been several separate homicides of young children in the last year alone, with the deaths of two three-month-olds and a two and a half year old.

In October 2019, he said a three-year-old was stabbed and died in hospital the following month.

"That's another incident a lot of people are going to draw some comparisons with."

The circumstances of the girl's death will be equally shattering to the city's tight-knit ASL & Deaf community in Winnipeg.

Deaf Church Reeling In The Wake of Homicide

Members of Winnipeg Deaf Fellowship Church reeling in the wake of 3-year-old daughter's killing.

WINNIPEG -- 'It’s horrific. It’s awful,' Calvary Temple's Bruce Martin says.

Members of Winnipeg's Calvary Temple are devastated after learning this week the daughter of a longtime member was brutally killed, allegedly by the hands of her father - another longtime congregant.

"I just couldn't believe this had happened," lead pastor Bruce Martin said Friday of the killing of the three-year-old on Wednesday. "It was so sad, oh my."

Winnipeg police have charged Frank Nausigimana, 28, with first-degree murder of his daughter, Jemimah, after he allegedly abducted her from her mother at knifepoint and killed her inside a car not long after.

Frank Nausigimana's Criminal History: Winnipeg Deaf Man Accused of Murdering Daughter Lacked Remorse For Assaulting Girl's Mother: Court Report

Nausigimana and the girl's mother were formerly longtime friends and each a member of Calvary Temple of the Deaf Followship.

While Martin isn't the pastor of that sub-ministry of the church, he said the person who is "loved them so much and is finding it so difficult."

He expects the entire congregation of the downtown Christian church will feel the same way.

"This little family were loved by a community of believers," he told CBC. "So right now for them it's the old, 'what did we miss? Why weren't we there? Why couldn't we help them? What went wrong?" he said.

"And there are no answers."

Jemimah's mother and Nausigimana had a major falling out after she became pregnant in 2017.

Court documents show Nausigimana assaulted her in the course of trying to force her to abort the unborn child. The woman applied for a protection order which prevented Nausigimana from attending the church when she was there.

She later told court she'd forgiven him and moved to have the order revoked, but tensions between them appeared to flare earlier this year after Nausigimana applied for joint custody of the girl, which she was opposed to. He alleged she'd cut off his access to her in early January.

Martin said he wasn't aware of the details of what was going on but said people in the church community knew there was conflict. He said the circumstances of the girl's death will be equally shattering to the city's tight-knit ASL & Deaf community.

"This will be devastating because they are so caring for each other and so connected to each other and they know each other so well. It's horrific. It's awful," he said.

Martin said he planned to address the matter in his Sunday sermon. He encouraged anyone who is struggling to reach out to get help.

"It happened because we live in a fallen world. People aren't perfect. Mental health is an issue and sometimes people make really bad choices," he said.

"Life is not always fair but there's always tomorrow," he said.

Deaf Fugitive Homicide Suspect Denied Bail

Mavrick William Fisher, 21, of Elko, Nevada, is charged with the murder of Grant David Whitaker, 25, of Mackinaw, Illinois.

LAKEPORT, California -- A man who authorities said bludgeoned his traveling companion to death at a Humboldt County campground before dumping the body in Lake County has made his first appearance in Lake County Superior Court.

Mavrick William Fisher, 21, who has connections to both Elko, Nevada, and Riverside, was arraigned on Friday afternoon in Judge J. David Markham’s courtroom in Lakeport. Fisher is charged with the murder of 25-year-old Grant David Whitaker, of Mackinaw, Illinois, during an altercation that investigators say occurred in Humboldt County.

The Daily Moth is a radio show, delivers news in video using American Sign Language. The Deaf host, Alex Abenchuchan, covers the story of Mavrick Fisher’s first court appearance in murder case in Lakeport, California.

The two men, both of them Deaf, were reported to be traveling cross country together to California when a disagreement occurred, leading to the fatal confrontation, according to District Attorney Susan Krones.

Authorities say Fisher later brought the body to Lake County, where it was discovered on Monday near Upper Lake, as Lake County News has reported.

Earlier this week, Fisher was taken into custody by authorities in Rosarito, Mexico, where he fled after Whitaker’s murder. They assisted with getting him back to the United States, and he was booked into the Lake County jail on Wednesday afternoon.

Krones, who appeared in court to handle the case on Friday, has charged Fisher with murder; assault with a deadly weapon, with the weapon in this case being a rock, and a special allegation of inflicting great bodily injury; willfully and maliciously removing and keeping possession of the 2011 Chevrolet Impala that Whitaker had been driving and which was on loan from his grandmother in Illinois; and unlawfully taking the car after the murder.

While the murder is believed to have occurred at Richardson Grove State Park in Humboldt County, Krones told Lake County News that Lake County has jurisdiction over the case because Whitaker’s body was located here.

She cited California Penal Code section 790, which gives jurisdiction for a murder or manslaughter case to “the county where the fatal injury was inflicted or in the county in which the injured party died or in the county in which his body was found.”

Krones said she has spoken to Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming, who has asked Krones to handle the case in Lake County. At the same time, both Lake County and Humboldt County investigators are working the case. On Friday, the court assigned Tom Feimer, a defense attorney with the county’s indigent defense contract, to represent Fisher.

Fisher, wearing a jail jumpsuit and sitting in the jury box along with several other individuals awaiting arraignment, also was provided the assistance of an interpreter at Friday’s court appearance.

Outside the courtroom, two women – one older, one younger with a baby – were waving and gesturing at Fisher and holding up the baby so it could be seen through the courtroom door window. A bailiff who admitted them to the courtroom warned them against trying to communicate with Fisher, a normal admonishment for family members in attendance at court proceedings. Read The Full Story.

Illinois Teen Shot Deaf Mom, Burned House

Teen allegedly shoots her Deaf mom in the head and later posts to her Facebook: ‘You were my best friend’, Police say.

MORRISON, Illinois -- Authorities investigating the homicide of a 53-year-old woman whose body was found Saturday inside her burning house in Morrison, Illinois, have arrested her 15-year-old daughter, whom they suspect is the killer, PEOPLE confirms.

A spokesman for the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois confirms that law enforcement has arrested the teenage daughter of Peggy Schroeder, who was Deaf.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

The girl is charged as a juvenile with two counts of first-degree murder, concealment of homicidal death and arson. Though authorities reportedly said Schroeder was shot in the head, her cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

PEOPLE does not identify juveniles accused of crimes unless they are tried as adults.

The girl did not enter a plea during a court hearing Tuesday in juvenile court. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether they plan to try her as an adult. If she is tried and convicted as a minor, she would be imprisoned until she turns 21.

Her lawyer, Jim Mertes, declined to discuss the allegations against his client.

The sheriff’s spokesman would only discuss the girl’s arrest and not the allegations against her, which were reportedly outlined by investigators during Tuesday’s hearing.

According to SaukValley.com, citing that testimony, authorities believe the teen was waiting for her mother to return from work last Thursday.

When Schroeder walked into the house around 5:30 p.m., the girl allegedly met her in the living room and had her place a towel over her face and then fired a single shot from a .38-caliber revolver into her forehead, authorities said, SaukValley.com reports.

According to court testimony, authorities claim the teen then texted a photo of Schroeder’s body to a friend to prove she had been killed. The other girl, also 15, then allegedly came over to help try to clean blood from the carpeting.

The next morning, the juveniles awoke and moved Peggy’s body from the living room to her bedroom, a sheriff’s detective claimed in court, the site reports.

The girls allegedly then spent the next two days trying to cover up the killing, according to local TV station KWQC.
