The mission of Pacific Free Press is simple: to dig out nuggets of truth from
the slag-heap of lies, ignorance and witless diversion that has buried
public discourse today. Pacific Free Press provides a new venue for
disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the
harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.
Aldergrove man charged with murder of 2 prostitutes
by CBC News British Columbia RCMP have charged a 29-year-old man with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the deaths of two sex-trade workers in the Fraser Valley.
The body of Sheryl Lynn Korrol, 50, was found July 7, 2007, in a business district of Langley, B.C.

Davey Mato Butorac was arrested over the weekend and charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Gwendolyn Jo Lawton and Sheryl Lynn Korrol, whose bodies were found last year at different times in Abbotsford and Langley, respectively.
Butorac is expected to make a court appearance later Monday.
At a morning news conference, Cpl. Dale Carr of the Integrated
Homicide Investigation Team said the evidence pointed to "what we
considered possibly a serial killer."
Carr said investigators
have been working with the RCMP-Vancouver police's Joint Missing Women
Task Force to identify similar cases that may be also linked to the
case.
The body of Lawton, 46, was found by city employees in the Pemberton Hill area of Abbotsford on March 13.

The body of Korrol, 50, was found on July 7 in a business district of Langley by some business employees.
As
part of the investigation into Korrol's death, police obtained a search
warrant on Oct. 18 and seized a vehicle connected with Butorac, an
Aldergrove resident who lived with his father in a townhouse.
But
in an unexpected twist, on Dec. 18, police allege, lab tests indicated
DNA evidence linked to Lawton was found in the vehicle.
Concerned for the public safety, Carr said police began round-the-clock surveillance of Butorac, while gathering more evidence.
On Dec. 29, police arrested Butorac, but he was released 24 hours later due to lack of evidence.
He
was arrested again on Friday, after police obtained new evidence. The
Crown then approved the two second-degree murder charges and an arrest
warrant was issued.
