Description

March–April Toronto The widow of a homosexual who was slain by a male youth was denied compensation by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. The board ruled that Donald Rochester, who was shot in February 1978 with his own gun by Leon Savage after an argument during which Rochester threatened the youth for refusing to perform certain sexual acts, had contributed to his own death by his illegal behaviour.
