Toronto man guilty of murder within the North York shelter

On Tuesday, Bellamy, 45, was sentenced by a jury of second degree murder in another case of homicide that has raised doubts about the police management of the violence of intimate party. The condemnation entails an automatic sentence of life imprisonment, without any possibility of probation for a period of between 10 and 25 years, which is determined later after a sentence hearing.

It is not known When Iannuccilli, 44, was killed; Bellamy could not shed any light on that when he testified in his own defense this month, since he argued that her death was an accident after she reached the knife she used around her neck during an argument induced by drugs and tried to stop. She for stabbing him.

They had not seen her in almost two days when the police found her body.

Defensor lawyers Kristen Dishysh and Kristianne Anor argued that this was nothing more than a “tragic and unwanted accident”, while the lawyers of the Crown Kene Canton and Mukunthan Paramalingham pointed out the large number of ardor wounds in the body of Iannuccilli as proof of Bellamy’s intention to kill her.

The jury returned its verdict after a day and a half of deliberations, without realizing the fact that Toronto Police officers had gone to the shelter twice the day before the discovery of Iannuccilli’s body, in response to calls on Bellamy , but supposedly failed to investigate properly.

Three police now face charges of misconduct.

As the star reported last yearThe police had responded on June 29, 2023 to two calls from the shelter staff at the old Edward Village hotel to obtain help to eliminate the couple, which were being evicted after an flood was discovered in their unit. In the second call, according to the documents of the Police Court, the staff specifically expressed concern for the security of Iannuccilli.

However, none of the officers who responded investigated him, the documents allege. The charges against Conts. Victor Lai, Sivapragasam Sivachandran and Adam Yurkiw include negligence of discreditable duty and behavior.

It was only when the police attended once again on June 30 that the officers began communicating through the door with Bellamy, as captured in chamber images used in the body, before calling members of the emergency task force to negotiate with him to finally open.

Sivachandran had arrived at the shelter early on the morning of June 29 and met with an employee who was not aware of the call to the police and who could not reach the night manager. The officer “closed the call with a provision of ‘no action is required'”, 13 minutes after arriving, according to the court documents.

The staff called the police again 20 minutes later, but no officer was able to answer until Lai and Yurkiw arrived around 5 in the afternoon, they did not call the door of the unit or Yurkiw told a superior officer about the concerns Just received regarding the security of Iannuccilli, the documents allege. The officers left about 40 minutes later.

Yurkiw can be seen in the shelter on June 30 in the Bodycam images of const. Ryan Young, entered as an exhibition at the Bellamy trial, where he can be heard communicating with Bellamy through the door of the unit while multiple officers attend the scene. He is also one of the officers who accompanies Bellamy to paramedics in the lobby.

Discipline issues are waiting for the conclusion of the Bellamy criminal case.

The verdict in the Bellamy trial occurred a few days after a jury two floors in the center of the center Dylon Dowman convicted of first degree murder for shooting his ex -girlfriend Daniella Mallia in a North York parking lot on August 18, 2022. Only three days before, she had Declaging the police that wanted to feel safe After informing Dowman’s threatening text messages, but the officers told him that it sounded like a situation of “he said, he said” that she had also “instigated.”

One of those officers declared himself guilty of negligence of duty in the Police Court, while the case of discipline of the other officer is pending.

Bellamy strongly denied that he stabbed Iannuccilli, who collapsed several times by telling the jury earlier this month that she was the love of her life.

“I didn’t hit any knife in anyone’s neck. I would never stab Tracy, never, in a million years, ”he said. “She was all for me. All.”

The couple had been smoking fentanil when they had a discussion while they were sitting on the edge of their bed, said Bellamy. I didn’t know what day or time it was; He was tall and was dark in the unit, since they always threw the curtains. His children were with Iannuccilli’s parents, and Bellamy told him that “you care more about drugs than our children,” what is angry.

“She snapped,” he testified under Dulysh questioning. “I saw a fire in his eyes.”

He said she threw the little knife she was wearing her neck and wrapped her first around. They stood up, with Bellamy hitting his hand to let him go, he said.

“While this happens, she is trying to push me and we are fighting from one place to another,” he said. “She grabs the back of my head and tries to push my head to the knife.”

When Bellamy tried to move her away, they both fell on the bed, with him.

“I didn’t see the knife enter his neck, I just saw his eyes open and I knew something was happening,” he said, noticing blood in his arms and in all Iannuccilli.

She agreed to let her help the bathroom to discover where she was cut, Bellamy said. Once in the shower, he noticed that his eyes were glazed.

“I didn’t even know if this was really happening, I got into the shower and crazy and I was talking like ‘Baby Wake Up Up,’ ‘he said, sobbing.

He wrapped his body with clothes and towels and then went to the other room to commit suicide, said: “I smoked so much fentanyl that should not be alive.”

He testified that he has gaps in his memory due to drugs, and does not remember much more until the police hit his door. He said he had no idea why he barricaba the door.

“I woke up in jail and I still had it in my head that I thought … I don’t know if I was lying, but I thought she overdose,” he said.

In the interrogation, Canton stressed that Bellamy had no injuries visible because of this alleged argument, while Iannuccilli had multiple white weapon wounds. Bellamy carefully took through each of those injuries in a diagram of the body of Iannuccilli, and suggested that Bellamy stabbed her repeatedly while caught in bed.

Bellamy said he didn’t know how all those injuries happened, but denied that he was responsible. “You will have to explain how someone can stab in the face like this,” Canton replied.

While Bellamy said the incident occurred in a matter of minutes, Canton said that the large amount of blood in the bedding and the sungar would suggest that it lasted much more.

“Lord. Bellamy, I suggest that you had the knife in my hand and brutalized it,” said Canton. “I will put it directly: that the only reasonable explanation to stab it so many times, in the head and particularly in the neck, it is because you had What to want to kill her, isn’t it? ”

Immediately after Bellamy finished his testimony, Judge of the Superior Court Kelly Byrne marked a problem in the absence of the jury: Bellamy denied that he stabbed Iannuccilli, but in the Very beginning of the trial, The jury had been told that he was an agreed fact between the crown and the defense that Bellamy had caused his death.

Deleh for the defense argued that Iannuccilli died as a result of the white weapon wounds received during the fight with Bellamy, hence the agreed fact. But what Bellamy said in his testimony disagreed with the agreed event, Byrne replied.

“Lord. Bellamy says:” I didn’t cause his death, the fight caused his death, “said the judge.

She said she was “uncomfortable” by letting the apparent contradiction stand up and wondered how he would instruct the jury. Canton said he was worried that he confused the jury during the deliberations, and Byrne agreed: “It will be strange and difficult.”

All finally agreed that the admission that Bellamy caused the death of Iannuccilli should be withdrawn.

“I am instructing you that now you have to ignore that fact,” Byrne told the jury, without elaborating. “It should not be considered by you in your decision making.”
