The list of missing and murdered women in Newfoundland and Labrador has grown by one more, and the crushing impact of that isn’t lost on the St. John’s Native Friendship Centre’s Amelia Reimer.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Tuesday that they believe Ryanna Grywacheski, 18, an indigenous women from Regina, was killed by Jeff Kilfoy, 37, in a murder-suicide this past weekend in Marystown.

Reimer and the Native Friendship Centre organize the annual In Her Name vigil in conjunction with the St. John’s Status of Women’s Council, and she says she was already updating the list when she heard the news.
