At least three people other than the victim and the accused were in the Fort St. John apartment at the time of the killing, according to an agreed statement of facts The Journal fought for weeks to make public.

" Q# k8 \: p+ hThe gang member punched the girl's boyfriend at least once. Others in the suite called 911 to report an accidental stabbing.

" {  H- ]) n9 G* T$ S; L8 PThe first RCMP constable to arrive found the girlfriend bleeding on the floor, one witness by her side, a towel against her neck. She didn't appear to be breathing, but the officer felt a faint pulse.

( v! y( x; z0 |& fA second officer arrived and was approached by the gang member and the boyfriend, who emerged from a bedroom. The boyfriend, an associate of the Edmonton-based gang, was bleeding from his mouth. He asked the constable if "she" would be "OK."

The officers led the young men outside the condo-style complex at 89th Street and 100th Avenue as paramedics arrived to take the girl to the city hospital down the road.

"We got in a fight," the boyfriend told one of the officers. "I picked up a knife and stabbed her."

The agreed statement of facts makes no mention of motive, and an initial psychiatric examination showed the boyfriend does not suffer from a serious mental illness.

Despite his admission, he initially pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. His girlfriend died of blood loss after arriving at the hospital on May 18, 2008. She was due to graduate high school the following week.

9 O3 q5 T$ A2 aUntil now, little has been made public about the killing. The Journal, along with the CBC, fought for access to the facts of the case last month, after a B.C. provincial court judge accepted the boyfriend's guilty plea.

The Dawson Creek Crown prosecutor and court clerk's office denied requests for access to the agreed statement of facts, which are typically read out in court.

"It's hard to understand why an agreed statement of facts in such a high-profile case couldn't be released to the public," said Allan Mayer, The Journal's editor-in-chief. "Who is served by such secrecy in open court? It's more than ridiculous that we had to spend time and money to pry the details out of this court's hands."

The Journal eventually had to make an application to the judge, who released the facts Wednesday.

"While courts always have a discretion to prevent public access to a filed exhibit, that discretion has to take into account charter values, including transparency of court proceedings," Journal lawyer Fred Kozak said.
