This chapter describes the Renfrew County inquest, including the three parties that were given standing to cross examine, and the jurors selected. Like the two former inquests, this was not about establishing guilt but rather about focusing on the dynamics of gender based intimate partner violence in rural communities Through this inquest it was revealed there were over one hundred instances where intervention could have taken place with Basil Borutski, the lack of which allowed him to escalate his violence without consequence.
