Saskatoon man who left hate comments on a murdered woman’s obituary pleads guilty [Video]

The man who left hate comments on a murder victim’s online obituary has been sentenced.

On Wednesday, Robert Gordon pleaded guilty to indecent communication for leaving hateful messages on Megan Gallagher’s online obituary.

The 30-year-old woman’s body was found north-east of Saskatoon two years after she was reported missing. Nine people have been charged in her death.

Gallagher’s parents said the comments were extremely racist and hateful towards women.

“When we were at the lowest point a person, or a family, could actually be, he dealt another fatal blow by what he did,” Deb Gallagher, Megan’s stepmother, said.

When investigating the hate comments, police say they came across child pornography on Gordon’s electronics. He faced two child pornography charges— one for making it and another for possessing it.
