Nova Scotia mass shooter's spouse reveals grim new details about their life together

Warning: This story contains graphic depictions of domestic violence and sexual assault. Viewer discretion is advised.

The Nova Scotia mass shooting inquiry shared some of the violence experienced by the gunman's common-law spouse this week.

For 19 years, Lisa Banfield lived with a man she described as a controlling, abusive psychopath who repeatedly beat her. This long-term pattern of violence is described in detail in a document released Wednesday by the inquiry investigating the mass shooting that left 22 people dead in Nova Scotia on April 18-19, 2020.

Callum Smith reports on the details as well as on a series of four videos also released by the inquiry that shows Banfield in Portapique, N.S. on Oct. 23, 2020, where she re-enacted what happened the first night of the rampage for the RCMP.
