At least three people other than the victim and the accused were in the Fort St. John apartment at the time of the killing, according to an agreed statement of facts The Journal fought for weeks to make public.

The 17-year-old victim, a Ross Sheppard High School student, had just driven six hours from Edmonton, with her boyfriend and a member of the Crazy Dragons drug gang in her car.

As first reported Wednesday on the Journal's website, not long after they arrived that afternoon, the girl settled on the arm of a couch in the living room, next to the gang member relaxing there.

Moments later, the 17-year-old boy she had been dating for four years walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife from a block on the counter, came back and plunged the blade into her neck twice.

The first RCMP constable to arrive found the girlfriend bleeding on the floor, one witness by her side, a towel against her neck. She didn't appear to be breathing, but the officer felt a faint pulse.

"We got in a fight," the boyfriend told one of the officers. "I picked up a knife and stabbed her."

The agreed statement of facts makes no mention of motive, and an initial psychiatric examination showed the boyfriend does not suffer from a serious mental illness.

Despite his admission, he initially pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. His girlfriend died of blood loss after arriving at the hospital on May 18, 2008. She was due to graduate high school the following week.

Until now, little has been made public about the killing. The Journal, along with the CBC, fought for access to the facts of the case last month, after a B.C. provincial court judge accepted the boyfriend's guilty plea.

The Dawson Creek Crown prosecutor and court clerk's office denied requests for access to the agreed statement of facts, which are typically read out in court.

" I" l, p+ h$ u5 m; r  _( A5 vIn this case, the judge read the facts silently in front of the defence lawyer and prosecutor before accepting their joint submission.

1 Q/ v6 P6 ~+ Q: _"It's hard to understand why an agreed statement of facts in such a high-profile case couldn't be released to the public," said Allan Mayer, The Journal's editor-in-chief. "Who is served by such secrecy in open court? It's more than ridiculous that we had to spend time and money to pry the details out of this court's hands."

/ @( k( o4 d3 m( BThe Journal eventually had to make an application to the judge, who released the facts Wednesday.

6 O: q3 V, p9 ]- |7 ?9 u, S"While courts always have a discretion to prevent public access to a filed exhibit, that discretion has to take into account charter values, including transparency of court proceedings," Journal lawyer Fred Kozak said.

"Preventing public scrutiny and discussion of those accepted facts serves no one's interest, and it doesn't reassure worried parents of teenaged children who have been anxious to know what led to this killing."

2 e1 r2 j% A4 R, XThe girl's parents have asked that her name not be made public, while her boyfriend cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled to take place on April 15-16 in Dawson Creek.
