The brother of Ellis Galea Kirkland, the architect, designer, lobbyist and consultant arrested in a dramatic takedown — police rappelled down the side of a hotel where the distraught woman had perched for hours while wanted in the stabbing of a doorman at her tony Toronto condominium — asked for prayers for his sister.
“There is more in the papers than I know,” Father Edwin Galea, parish priest at Toronto’s St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, said Friday. “It’s very challenging, please keep her in your prayers.”
Friends and clients expressed a similar mix of concern and shock at Thursday’s events.
“I’m very surprised and shocked at what I hear,” said Chief Leo Friday of the Kashechewan First Nation, a troubled northern Ontario reserve that Kirkland is a long-time lobbyist for on infrastructure matters.
“I understand it is going to the courts. I want to know more about things,” he said.
Kirkland, 60, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and weapons dangerous after the 67-year-old doorman at Arbour Glen Apartments was stabbed multiple times with a kitchen knife. (more...)
