With 12 convictions already under his belt, including almost killing his ex-girlfriend in 2018, Tariq St. Croix has caught another 120 days, and will still be out later this year.

Despite being under two no-contact orders, on New YearSA国际影视传媒檚 Eve in 2018, Tariq St. Croix broke into his pregnant ex-girlfriend, MarinaSA国际影视传媒檚, apartment (last name withheld by Yellowknifer).

In a jealous rage, he grabbed a steak knife and stabbed at her vital organs while she clutched one of her children and another looked on. The attack was prolonged, bloody, and brutal. Marina barely survived and lives with chronic pain four years on. He is due out in 105 days, she tells me: SA国际影视传媒淚 have a countdown on my clock.SA国际影视传媒�

For this crime, St. Croix accepted a plea deal reducing his charge from attempted murder to aggravated assault for which he received the five-year custodial sentence at North Slave Correctional Complex and three on probation. He also received a lifetime ban on owning firearms and agreed not to return to the NWT upon release.

His called the sentence SA国际影视传媒渁 joke,SA国际影视传媒� says the mother of five. She hasnSA国际影视传媒檛 been able to move from the apartment where she was attacked and fears his return. The NYE attempt on her life was one of several, she says.

St. Croix was due to be released on May 2, 2022 but that date will be extended due to a new conviction.

On Jan. 20, St. Croix let out a laboured SA国际影视传媒測esSA国际影视传媒� in Territorial Criminal Court and pled guilty to threatening the life of a Peace Officer on two separate occasions. The judge added 120 to his current sentence. It could also be the final nail in the coffin on his immigration status that was not automatically revoked due to his Refugee Status.

According to the Crown Prosecutor, on July 14 and July 20, St. Croix told a Peace Officer SA国际影视传媒淚 can escape this place whenever I wantSA国际影视传媒�, SA国际影视传媒淸ISA国际影视传媒檒l] [expletive] kill youSA国际影视传媒� and SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 going to waste you.SA国际影视传媒�

Through his defender, St. Croix claimed his verbal attacks were done in SA国际影视传媒渇rustrationSA国际影视传媒� from being targeted with racial slurs. The judge acknowledged the impact of such treatment but found retaliation with threats unacceptable, SA国际影视传媒淭hose are crimes of violence as well,SA国际影视传媒� he told St. Croix.

During his sentencing it was revealed St. Croix had 12 prior convictions, five for violent offences SA国际影视传媒攊ncluding the NYE stabbingSA国际影视传媒攁nd two for uttering threats. The details of the attempted murder where not revealed in court and were noted a SA国际影视传媒渢he break and enter with underlying violence.SA国际影视传媒�

The Prosecutor outlined the SA国际影视传媒渃ollateral consequencesSA国际影视传媒� of his case, the most significant is that he will face immigration officials upon his release, and this time, the law may not be so lenient. SA国际影视传媒淚 think he should have been deported long ago,SA国际影视传媒� said Marina. If he did, Marina said sheSA国际影视传媒檇 return to university: SA国际影视传媒淚 would finally be able to pick up from where I left off. Before he stabbed me.SA国际影视传媒�
