Rehtaeh Parsons: RCMP arrest two males in teen’s April suicide
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/08/08/rehtaeh_parsons_rcmp_arrest_two_males_in_teens_april_suicide.htmlThe mother of Rehtaeh Parsons said she has some solace after hearing that two people were arrested Thursday in the case of her daughter, the 17-year-old Halifax girl who died following a suicide attempt in what her family says stemmed from cyberbullying after an alleged sexual assault.
“We’re just hopeful there’s charges laid and others to arrest, hoping that they’re finally willing to tell their side of the story,” Leah Parsons said in an interview.
“A sense of relief came over me that at least they’re going to be questioned.”
The RCMP and Halifax police said they arrested two males at their homes in Halifax at around 8 a.m. and took them into custody where they were being questioned. The Mounties did not release further information on the males arrested, including their ages and what they were arrested for.

Lots of discussion about this case on DU back in April. Good to see things moving along, even if they do move slowly.
