Apr 27, 2006
The triple-murder of a Medicine Hat, Alta. family is being felt in Greater Sudbury where relatives are mourning the death of the slain family.

Marc Richardson, who grew up in Sudbury, was found dead in his home April 23, along with his wife Debra and 10-year old son Jacob.

Police in Alberta have arrested 23-year old Jeremy Allen Steinke, and a 12-year old girl, said to be Steinke's girlfriend, in relation to the murders.

Arthur Richardson, Marc's father, who lives in Sudbury spoke with a reporter from the Calgary Herald April 24 about the crime.

Richardson told the newspaper his son was on the verge on opening his own business and was excited about the opportunity.

"He was so happy. He was just starting out," the man's father told the Herald. "He had lots of friends, he was very loved," he added. "He was a very easygoing guy."

Steinke and the Grade 7 girl appeared in court for the first time Tuesday.
