Basil Borutski and the Wilno Murders: Circle of Fear - The Fifth Estate

On a late September day in 2015, three women were brutally killed in Renfrew County, Ontario. And now 59-year-old Basil Borutski stands convicted of those crimes, the details of which he revealed in a rambling five hour interrogation in which he cast himself as victim. The truth is that Borustki had been well-known to police for years. How did the system that’s supposed to protect women go so disastrously wrong? Gillian Findlay investigates, with revealing interviews with family members, friends of victims and witnesses ... and excerpts from the Borutski confession.

The moment he refused to serve that protective order is a red flag so big that it could be spotted from the surface of the moon. He should have been remanded back into custody with that refusal, because it screams "I REFUSE to comply, and will terrorize this woman again at the first opportunity". But no, they let him go, and then the parole officer compounded that grievous error in legal judgement by his own stupidity. This is a case where foresight was as crystal clear as hindsight, and the legal system ignored the warning signs. They are complicit in the deaths of all 3 women. They are complicit in the pain this killer foisted upon their families and loved-ones. They. Are. Complicit.

@@napben2192 Then there are the phama drugs he was on. Oxies being one of them add to that the antidepressant. Oxies so strange things to some people. Any opiate does. Some antidepressants are also a big bad. Sometimes the longer you take them the worse you get. I have seen some pretty messed up people over the years due to phama drugs. As the years went by he was probably given higher amounts as well. Add those to anger over something and bad things can happen. Pharma drugs are not all they cracked up to be. Addictive ones are the worst. The side effects can be pretty devastating. If he had been given pot for pain odds are he might not have gone down this road. Opiates can really mess people up. The same goes for many antidepressants. Many of them are addictive as well. Side effects from them can lead a person down the wrong road as well.

teddybouka do you even know what a narcissist is? This guy is CLEARLY NOT a narcissist. He literally begged for help before he snapped. These women took advantage of him, lied on him and took everything he worked hard for. Its almost laughable that you call him a narcissist. Smh

[@sanleerussell8534]

@@Nina1984t Good point- Playing the victim while being a pure, sick perpetrator sounds more like a Socio/Psychopath. The fact that he's got randos on the internet taking his side just proves the effectiveness of his pity-play.

I'm not a supporter of the death penalty, but Mr. Borutski's case may be the chief reason for that sort of punishment to be legalized in Canada.

I do believe that this man to some extent especially because folks do gang up on others. However you can tell from his prison interview that he has a very bad temper. He doesnt take any type of responsibility for killing those women which is disturbing. Thank you.

It's the LOOPHOLE IN THE LAW WHERE PREVIOUS ACCUSATIONS (NO MATTER HOW MANY) WITHOUT CONVICTIONS CANNOT BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN CONSIDERING WHETHER SOMEONE IS A DANGER that needs to be changed SOMEHOW😡😡😡😡

[@whitelotus1960]

Two years after my divorce my EX husband use to just walk in my apartment and act like it was nothing. I called the cops EVERY time until they got tired of coming to the apartment and charged him with trespassing. The EX would call me all the time and even at work to drop the charges. I didn't. We went to court and he got one month in county jail. To this day he NEVER talks to me. Because I stood my ground and let him know I wasn't going to take it. I figured through the whole process he could have killed me, but I wasn't going to go out on my knees!

Let’s keep in mind that all it actually would of taken to stop this guy, was a few women showing up to court... not a complete upheaval of our justice system.

[@cbudzyn]

3 days to convict, your joking......Canadian citizens tell me this is paperwork issue? That would have taken literally hours for a jury to convict in some parts of the world, then then a day for a death penalty state. Open multiple murder admission, priors on 2 of the victims (in the view of the court of law) that led to prior convictions. Text messages sent showing he was in a cognitive state and aware of his actions, and auto theft.

[@jeraldineeason829]

why do the judges keep giving violent men a pass because they are "only" assaulting the women in their lives? if this guy had been charged with assaulting some other guys he would have gone to jail a long time ago and been considered a violent offender. something has got to change when the leading cause of death for women is men there is something very very wrong.

[@puzzlerd1520]

In the full interrogation video, the reason he didn’t sign it was because he truly believed he was innocent and could see that was his first cry for help - he knew he wasn’t well in the head and no one helped him. Ultimately he did the unforgivable when he finally flipped.

Depending on the state he was in, in the US he would have gotten at least life without parole. Some states would have given him the death penalty. He would still be in prison for that beating. Capitol crimes get Capitol punishment. And the law enforcement agency would have gotten sued by the family for failing to notify victims he was out of jail.

[@canvan8818]

when domestic victims of abuse lay charges and follow up with pursuing those charges and allowing the judicial system to step in, there may be less deaths.

[@K131399]

Imagine how many people absolutely weren't surprised when they heard about what happened. How many people knew he was eventually gonna snap and kill someone maybe several people? But if some concerned citizens reached out to some bad folks and had ole Basil put to rest years ago they'd be considered as guilty of murder as Basil eventually became. If we have a judicial system of the people, by the people, and for the people shouldn't we have some kind of recourse for dealing with these psychopaths? Yes there are obvious reasons why you cannot under any circumstances allow vigilante murder but what if the investigation into the murder of say Basil be conducted in a way that once its determined that this was concerned citizens simply exterminating a ticking time-bomb, the investigation's focus would continue with that in mind? Obviously calling it a slippery slope would be an understatement but why do we as a society just sit and wait for these animals to eventually start killing people?

[@snowmansnowsnowman4641]

Sounds young, naive, immature. Ever kill anyone? I know that kind of retribution sounds simple. Take a life, have yours taken. It's just not that simple. Capitol punishment doesn't work as a deterrent and most people affected by violence find forgiveness to be the only way to find closure so they can grieve and accept their new reality. They aren't forgiving the offender for the offenders sake. They forgive for their own peace of mind, so they can move on. You have to be closer to the situation before espousing opinions on capitol punishment. In my 50 years I have lost friends to murder, drunk driving and misadventure. I know what I am talking about. Do you?

[@jaredburgess8381]

+Snowmansnow Snowman I agree with ALMOST everything you said except that I believe adults who torture and kill children with 100% certainty should be ‘put to sleep’. Not 25 years of appeals and this and that. The clearest cut of cases where the guilty party/s is found via the most solid of evidence; then....bedtime.

[@snowmansnowsnowman4641]

Jared Burgess, Yeah, kids. That's touchy. Even though I am against the death penalty I've struggled with the thought. As a father, he's a dead man if I find him. Funny thing is, I have known parents who lost a child to someone else's actions and they didn't want revenge. They wanted justice. Others lie in wait and get revenge. I guess we don't know, 'till it happens, what we would do. Thank God I never had to find out for myself.

[@707tgreennorcal7]
