Calgary -- Grant Harder took his two-year-old son, Cole, for a happy Sunday visit with his grandfather before driving him to a remote area of central Alberta and shooting him in a murder-suicide.

The bodies of Mr. Harder and his son, Cole, were found in a truck on Monday near Bittern Lake, south of Edmonton.

Cole's mother, Naomi Manuel of Calgary, criticized the justice system yesterday, saying that Mr. Harder had assaulted her, yet he won access rights to their son. CP
