ID's Evil Lives Here: What did Dustin Duthie do?
According to CTV News, on July 25, 2018, Dustin Duthie slit his girlfriend Taylor Toller's throat in her condo in Applewood Park, Calgary. He then put her body on the bed and made it look as if she was sleeping. The two had reportedly been in a relationship for five years, according to CBC News.
The surveillance footage from the day Toller died shows the pair holding hands at various times as they went in and out of the Applewood Condo where Toller lived. One of the clips shows Toller crying. Duthie left the condo early in the morning on July 26, 2018, with a black bag. Toller's family started panicking when she apparently went missing.
More than five days after he had killed his girlfriend, Duthie went to his family home and stabbed his mother, Shawn Boshuk, in the kitchen before moving her body into the room. A while later, his stepfather, Alan Pennylegion, with whom Duthie reportedly had a troubled relationship, went to the kitchen to find his stepson cleaning a pool of blood. He was subsequently stabbed and his body was moved to the bathroom. According to CBC News, Duthie also killed the family dog, Odie.

Duthie then placed a 911 call and confessed to the murders, following which the police discovered the bodies of Shawn, Alan, and Taylor. Details about the motive behind the murders were not revealed.
Duthie pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for killing his stepfather and second-degree murder for killing his mother and girlfriend. He was ultimately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole until 35 years. Per CTV News, Duthie did show signs of remorse during the trial.
Taylor Toller's family put out a statement wherein they speak about the ''insidious'' nature of domestic violence. It states in part (obtained via CBC News):
''We loved Taylor very much. The opportunity to see her grow and thrive was taken from her family, and we are heartbroken. Domestic violence is insidious, and it can happen to anyone. If you have a friend or loved one at risk, know that it can take many attempts to leave, and the most dangerous time can be after that decision is made.''
