Tori Dunn, 30, was allegedly stabbed in her own home and later died.

Family members of Tori Dunn have created an online petition calling for an internal review of B.C.’s legal system. 

Dunn, 30, was allegedly stabbed inside her Surrey home on June 16 and later died in the hospital. 

Adam Troy Mann from Ontario has been charged with one count of second-degree murder. Court records in B.C., Ontario and New Brunswick show Mann, 40, has a criminal history dating back decades.

Tori’s cousin created the and is demanding answers and accountability. 

"Despite Mann's clear disregard for the law, his heinous criminal history, and his unstable living conditions, the judicial system still saw fit to release him back into society,” says Chasity Dunn, adding that “inadequate monitoring and evaluative measures of the potential harm associated with Mann were detrimental oversights that culminated in Tori Dunn's tragic death.”

"Tori fell victim to a brutal and horrifying crime,” she says.

The family is questioning how was it decided that Mann was released, to avoid something similar from happening in the future. 

"We beg you to remember Tori Dunn — remember her life that was so needlessly and cruelly cut short, and remember the failings that led to her untimely demise,” says Chasity. 

She hopes the petition will implore the legal system to undertake a comprehensive internal review of the decisions and legal procedures leading up to the tragedy.

Aron Dunn, Tori's father, spoke at a press conference on June 28.

“I don’t know how [the judge] could make a judgment like that knowing the criminal past of the offender,” he said. “I can’t imagine how [the judge] feels today."

Their goal is to collect 200 signatures; within less than 24 hours, the petition has garnered 127.
