Greg Fertuck was the type of man who solved his problems through "intimidation, threats and violence."

Evidence at his murder trial showed he had to have his way — or else.

"When [his wife Sheree] would not comply by his own admission he went to his truck, got his rifle, shot her in the shoulder, then coldly shot her in the head. He killed her in cold blood," wrote Justice Richard Danyliuk in his trial decision.

Danyliuk found Greg guilty of first-degree murder on June 14, 2024, after a lengthy and complicated trial at Saskatoon's Court of King's Bench.

Greg was also found guilty of indecently interfering with Sheree's remains because he hid her body in a secluded area near some poplar trees after the murder. Her remains have never been found.

"It's no secret that Saskatchewan has the highest rate of police-reported intimate partner violence among the provinces in Canada," Dusel said. "Saskatchewan also has the highest per capita rate of intimate partner homicides."
