The public inquiry into the 2015 death of Myles Gray following a police beating in Vancouver was abruptly paused after a lawyer made a controversial remark that was caught on a microphone.
The highly anticipated hearing overseen by the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner, expected to span over 10 weeks, came to an unexpected halt during Wednesday’s session. The audio feed announced that proceedings will resume on Monday morning.
