The sister of a woman who was stabbed to death by her “on-and-off again” boyfriend inside her Little Italy home three years ago told a Toronto courtroom Wednesday that the system failed the 30-year-old mother by not doing enough to protect her.

In her victim impact statement, Miranda Doff told Superior Court Justice Michael Brown that the family didn’t know about a prior assault that her younger sister Brittany had reported to police.

“The seriousness of his actions were minimized to sessions of anger management,” said Doff.

“Kadeem Nedrick is on trial today, but a large part of mine and my families’ trauma and mental torture is knowing how catastrophically this system failed my sister and her son.”

The details of the prior assault were part of an agreed statement of facts read out in court two weeks ago when Nedrick pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
