Canada’s premiers have penned a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to push for a review of the country’s bail system after the slaying of a Surrey, B.C., woman in her home last month.

Tori Dunn, 30, was killed in her home on June 16. Adam Troy Mann, the 40-year-old Ontario man charged in connection with her murder, had been released from jail just days before despite a violent criminal history. He had been charged in relation to another stabbing just a week prior to Ms. Dunn’s death.
