Kelly will be released from the Stony Mountain Institution on December 1, 2010. He is expected to take up residence in Winnipeg. Upon release, Kelly will be under the terms of a Long Term Supervision Order.  Females, particularly those in the 12 – 19 age range, are at risk of sexual violence.

Kelly’s most recent offences occurred between July 2001 and October 2004. On numerous occasions during that period, KELLY would supply drugs to vulnerable young females and, in exchange, force them to submit to various sexual acts with him.  Kelly was arrested for these offences in October 2004. While in custody awaiting trial, Correctional Officers intercepted a note written by Kelly in which he directed an associate to cause injury to the victims that would render them incapable of giving evidence against him. On December 3, 2007, Kelly was sentenced on five charges of Sexual Assault and one count of Attempting to Obstruct Justice in connection with the above offences. He was declared a Long Term Offender and was sentenced to three years in prison. The sentence imposed took into account the fact KELLY had been in custody from October 2004 until December 2007. KELLY will complete the prison portion of his sentence on December 1, 2010. Upon release, he will be under Long Term Supervision Order for 10 years.

 

While in custody, Kelly received some sex offender treatment. However, he is still considered a high risk to re-offend. Females, particularly adolescent females, are at risk for sexual violence.

Polic Report - 2009 Highlights and link

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

WINNIPEG POLICE SERVICE 2009 ANNUAL REPORT

On behalf of the members of the Winnipeg Police Service, we present our 2009 Annual Report. It provides a snapshot of police activities, major initiatives and crime statistics for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2009.

Highlights from the report include:

* A substantial increase in traditional traffic enforcement over 2008, with a strong emphasis on speeding, traffic control devices, and occupant restraints.

* The numerous arrests and search warrants carried out during Project Divide, which focused on the criminal activities of the Zig Zag Crew and their association to the Manitoba chapter of the Hells Angels.

* The introduction of a new High Risk Victim Protocol. Working within the multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary system, Missing Persons Unit detectives are assigned to six to eight “High Risk Victims” with the intention of intervening and bringing them to safety as soon as possible after they are reported missing.

* The creation of a Task Force involving members of the WPS, RCMP and the Province of Manitoba to review cases involving missing and murdered women.

* The continued success of the Winnipeg Auto Theft Suppression Strategy which has helped to reduced auto theft in Winnipeg by over 70%, resulting in 9,000 fewer vehicle thefts and attempts in 2009 than took place in 2004.

* Plans for the Service to move to its headquarters from its current location at 151 Princess to the former Canada Post building located at 266 Graham Avenue.

* Efforts to more effectively communicate with the public through initiatives such as the E-Watch Email subscription program, the CrimeStat website and Chief McCacskill’s monthly radio program.

Our achievements as a Police Service would not be possible without the many established relationships we have with all levels of government, businesses and community organizations as well as the citizens who work with us to prevent crime and improve safety in our city.

Electronic copies of the French and English versions of our 2009 Annual Report are available on our website:

MISSING PERSON- CLAUDETTE OSBORNE R080043916
Claudette Osborne has not been seen since July 25th 2008. She was reported missing to the Winnipeg Police Service and members of the Missing Persons Unit have been actively involved in the investigation of her disappearance since that time.

Claudette was last seen at 6:00 a.m. on July 25th 2008 in the proximity of the Lincoln Motor Hotel in Winnipeg. Investigators have now confirmed that she made her way from the Lincoln Motor Hotel on McPhillips Street to the area of Selkirk Avenue and King Street by approximately 6:30 a.m. that morning.

Claudette was 21 years of age at the time of her disappearance. She is described as Aboriginal, 5 feet 4 inches tall and approximately 145 pounds with a medium build. She has hazel green eyes and had long brown hair when she went missing. She was last seen wearing black pin striped pants and a black v-neck t-shirt with a ruffled collar. She also has a small 1 inch scar on the lower right side of her face.

The Winnipeg Crime Stoppers Program produced a re-enactment of Claudette’s disappearance that was aired for the public in May of 2009. To assist with this investigation Crime Stoppers has now produced an updated version of the original re-enactment that includes the updated location information. The Missing Persons Unit is requesting the media’s assistance by airing the updated version for the public to view.

Investigators firmly believe that there are people out there that know specific details about Claudette’s disappearance and we need those people to come forward with crucial information that will help to resolve this investigation and bring Claudette home to her family.

Anyone with information on this unsolved disappearance is asked to call the Missing Persons Unit at 986-6250, Child Find Manitoba at 1-800-532-9135 or Winnipeg Crime Stoppers at 786-TIPS (786-8477).

On October 23, 2010 between approximately 8:40 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., members of the Winnipeg Police Service responded to three separate shooting incidents located in the William Whyte area of Winnipeg.

 

The incidents occurred at or near the following locations:

 

·        200 block of Stella Walk

·        400 block of Dufferin Avenue

·        400 block of Boyd Avenue

 

As a result, two adult males and one female youth sustained gunshot wounds to the upper body. The two adult males have since succumbed to injuries sustained and the female youth remains in hospital in critical condition.

 

Members of the Homicide Unit and Major Crimes Unit continue to investigate. The identity of the adult male victim involved in the Dufferin Avenue incident has not yet been confirmed.

 

No arrest(s) have been made at this time. The individual(s) responsible remain at large.

 

It should be noted that investigators have yet to confirm an association between all three incidents. Numerous police resources are continuing to gather evidence and the search for the suspect(s) involved remains a high priority.
