OTTAWA - Theresa Lefebvre, who was beaten with a baseball bat in her Stittsville, Ont., home last week by her husband before he killed himself, has died of her injuries.
Although police have yet to confirm the death, Lefebvre died in hospital on Wednesday. Her death comes one week after the April 11 attack at the home she shared with husband, Peter.
The Lefebvres had been married more than 20 years and had two teenage sons. They were going through a breakup of their marriage at the time of the assault.
Theresa’s family alleged years of abuse in the relationship, but in an e-mailed statement to the media, Peter’s family said Theresa had asked for a divorce “because she no longer loved him, not because he abused her.”
Peter was found dead a couple of hours later in a nearby forested area. He had hanged himself. (cowardly scumbag)
A wake for Peter is scheduled in Stittsville Wednesday night, with his funeral Thursday morning.
Stittsville is located 30 km southwest of Ottawa.
