As another day passed and silence persisted around the arrests of 10 penitentiary guards in the killing of an Indigenous inmate, MHA Lela Evans called the quietness shameful and damaging to public trust in justice. Evans, the MHA for Henoche's home region on the north coast of Labrador, said the lack of information is hurting her constituents. "Jonathan Henoche died while he was in custody … where he was supposed to be safe and protected, and he wasn't," Evans said. Evans said she's disappointed the death of an Indigenous man in custody is being dealt with in such a way. Labrador lost an iconic volunteer and a beautiful soul in Regula Schule, the 88-year-old woman Henoche was accused of killing.
