Man charged in ‘vicious, horrible’ murder of 82-year-old Nova Scotia veteran
SYDNEY, N.S. — Nova Scotia police officers worked for years to solve a brutal small-town murder, watched over by a huge photo of the victim — an 82-year-old Second World War veteran whose image on the wall served as daily motivation for catching his killer.
The decade-long investigation into the death of Harold “Buster” Slaunwhite culminated Thursday with 49-year-old Raymond Glenn Farrow of Glace Bay being charged with first-degree murder.
“Every day when those folks went to work, that photo of Mr. Slaunwhite was the first thing facing them when they walked through the door,” said Cape Breton Region Police Chief Peter McIsaac.
“It was a reminder that this is all about finding justice for Mr. Slaunwhite and his family for the vicious, horrible crime that happened.”
