UPDATE: Crazy, violent people... lock them up
A crazed man who stabbed a woman to death at a party and then -- according to neighbours -- slit her three-year-old son's throat was shot dead by police yesterday.He was dangerous enough they wouldn't let him have custody of his child... he should have been in lockdown.
The relative and neighbours at the scene outside 1010 Glen St. unit 155 said a fight erupted at a party in the house yesterday and identified the dead man as Gino Petrolia, though the spelling of his last name couldn't immediately be confirmed.
Neighbour Lindsay Demers, 20, said Gino fatally stabbed Leslie Kelly. Demers said she had spoken with relatives of the Kellys. Demers said Gino had been angered that his son Steven was in the custody of Rick and Kelly, apparently because of Gino's mental issues.
