A Canadian man accused of killing a young Dawson Creek, B.C., woman while both were vacationing on the Mayan Riviera last year has been found not guilty by a Mexican court.
Kiara Agnew, 23, became the victim of a suspected femicide while on what was supposed to be a dream vacation with her boyfriend in March 2023.
“Words can’t describe how I feel,” Agnew’s mother Michele told Global News in an interview on Thursday. “I’m devastated.”
“We had so much evidence so we were in such disbelief that the justice system let us down this horribly,” added Kiara’s sister Tiana Agnew.
Kiara left Dawson Creek with her partner, whom Global News is not naming due to his acquittal, to celebrate her 24th birthday in Playa Del Carmen.
