Derek Saretzky, 24, was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder in June for the 2015 deaths of Terry Blanchette, Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and 69-year-old Hanne Meketech. CALGARY—An Alberta man is appealing his conviction and sentence for the murders of a father, the man’s two-year-old daughter and a woman. Der, who was not Saretzky’s lawyer during the trial, said he has not officially been retained yet but that he could handle the appeals. Last month, Justice William Tilleman of Court of Queen’s Bench said he considered Saretzky to be dangerous. Saretzky told police the devil taunted him “to do all kinds of stupid stuff,” but he was found mentally fit to face the charges.
