A jury in Simcoe has acquitted a man accused of stabbing his grandmother to death two years ago. The body of 90-year-old Marlene Wilson was found with stab wounds to her chest in Waterford back in February 2023. Police charged her 36-year-old grandson Jordaine Wilson with second-degree murder. However, after hearing all of the evidence at trial, the jury deliberated for eight hours and returned with a not-guilty verdict.

Abbotsford acupuncturist accused of treating ‘sensitive areas' without explanation or consent
An Abbotsford acupuncturist has been temporarily banned from exposing certain parts of his patients' bodies during treatment because of a misconduct allegation. The College of Complementary Health Professionals of B.C. took the 'extraordinary action' against Jun Hao (Harvey) Zeng after receiving a complaint that he had 'undraped and performed treatment on particularly sensitive areas on the patient's body without explaining the treatment to be provided and without consent.' The allegations against Zeng are under investigation and have not been proven, but the college decided a strong 'prima facie' case had been presented, and restrictions on Zeng's practice were necessary 'to protect the public during an investigation.' The college took its extraordinary action, the terms of which are published online, on July 28. Zeng is not permitted to undrape the 'anterior pelvis' or the buttock of any of his patients below a designated level, and may only undrape a patient's buttock to the designated level if he has 'the express prior written consent of the patient.' Zeng is also required to post the restrictions in English on any online booking pages he uses, in the waiting room of any clinic he practises in and in any treatment room in which he works. The copy of the restrictions posted in the waiting room must also be posted in Chinese, according to the extraordinary action. Additionally, Zeng is required to provide the college with either a copy of or electronic access to his calendar every Friday by 6 p.m., along with 'the name and contact information for each patient he treated in the preceding week.' A college-appointed inspector will conduct random on-site audits of Zeng's practice while the extraordinary action is in place. 'The inquiry committee panel considered the allegations serious and found that there are some factors that render the alleged conduct likely to recur,' the document reads. 'Therefore, the panel determined that the public must be protected by an interim order during the investigation, pending any disciplinary hearing.' 'Having weighed the different options and the circumstances of this case and having considered the impact on the registrant, the inquiry committee panel concluded that the above-described limits and conditions are proportionate and sufficient to protect the public during the investigation or pending any discipline hearing,' the extraordinary action concludes.
