What is the current state of the law on sexual assault and murder?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Niemi, 2013 ONSC 4 (CanLII):
In my view, MacPherson J.A. was quite clear in rejecting the reasoning in R v. Quesnel. The law, as it presently stands, requires the jury to determine whether the acts said to constitute a sexual assault and the murder form part of a single transaction and not whether the murder was committed before or after the sexual assault.
