Conviction Upheld in Surrey Six Case | Vancouver News
Description
Cody Haevischer’s last-ditch effort to overturn his conviction for the brutal Surrey Six murders has been rejected, sealing his fate after he was found guilty of six first-degree murders in 2007 that claimed six lives—including two innocent bystanders. Alongside co-defendant Matthew Johnston, now deceased, Haevischer argued police misconduct and harsh prison conditions denied them a fair trial, but the court dismissed their appeal after reviewing 39 witnesses and 209 exhibits. While acknowledging some Charter violations due to solitary confinement, the judge ruled it was justified for safety, and any alternative outcome would have undermined justice. The mother of one victim, Christopher Mohan, attended the hearing, expressing profound relief and gratitude—calling it a beautiful day that finally honored her son’s life and brought her peace.
