Murdered woman afraid of angry ex

(Video updated) Kyle Newman – the man shot outside Oakville’s police station – was on a career fast track, while his family life was crumbling.

Newman was the estranged husband of Katherine Newman – the 43 year old mother of three found stabbed to death in her Tree Top Terrace home.

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit says Kyle Newman was causing damage in the parking lot of the Oakville police station late yesterday morning. When officers went outside to deal with him, there was a confrontation, and he was shot and killed by police.

Kyle Newman was a national product manager at Johnson and Johnson. They sent CHCH News a statement expressing their condolences to the families, adding that out of respect for the privacy of the families, they won’t be making further comment.

Neighbours say they didn’t notice anything unusual in his behaviour.

Katherine Newman is the daughter of retired Hamilton judge Walter Stayshyn. She has 3 children, aged 12, 10 and 7. She had filed for a divorce in July, and there are reports she had called police on her estranged husband several times.
