Lisa Banfield is facing two counts and her relatives are each facing one count. There is a separate lawsuit families have filed against the RCMP and the province. Lisa Banfield, James Banfield and Brian Brewster's names were added to the lawsuit on Feb. 5. Though police have said Lisa Banfield was the first victim of violence in Portapique on April 18, she was always excluded as a plaintiff from the families' lawsuit. Their filings said Lisa Banfield gave four statements to police, on April 19, April 20, April 28 and July 28.
