CP NewsAlert: Timothy Rees murder charge withdrawn after conviction set aside
Written by The Canadian Press on December 18, 2025
TORONTO — Prosecutors have withdrawn a second-degree murder charge against Timothy Rees, weeks after Ontario’s top court set aside his conviction in the 1989 killing of a 10-year-old girl.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario last month ordered a new trial for Rees, but it was up to the Crown to decide whether to proceed with one.
More coming.
