Why does BC target hitmen and not those who order the hits?
from Mornings with Simi · host Curiouscast
Francois Gauthier, after killing Harpreet Dhaliwal, was found with an arsenal and incriminating items in his Airbnb. His guilty plea to second-degree murder revealed no details about who hired him or the motive. Similar cases in Vancouver show a pattern where hitmen are convicted without identifying the masterminds behind the hits, which critics say allows high-level organized criminals to operate with impunity.
