Manitoba reverses decision, will now pay for slain aboriginal woman's funeral

Manitoba Justice has reversed its decision and will now pay the funeral bill for a slain aboriginal woman.

Angela Poorman was fatally stabbed in Winnipeg on Dec. 14, 2014. Her family had asked Manitoba Justice's Victim Services branch to help cover the 29-year-old's funeral expenses. They were turned down because Poorman has numerous minor criminal offences on her record.
