A funeral will be held Friday for seven-year-old Nathan Dumas, a St. Catharines, Ont., boy who police say was killed by his own stepfather. Niagara regional police allege 43-year-old Justin Kuijer attacked the boy on Friday morning, causing undisclosed injuries that led to his death in hospital the next day. They allege Kuijer also stabbed an employee of a local RBC branch moments after the attack on Nathan, sending her to hospital. An obituary for Nathan makes no mention of how he died, but focuses instead on his family's memories of him. The obituary said he is also mourned by his grandparents, aunts and uncles, and Grade 2 classmates at Harriet Tubman Elementary School in St. Catharines.
