Inside a community centre in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, poster board collages display photos of a young woman with a big smile on her face. She's shown with her arms wrapped around family members, being silly in selfies with friends, standing proud in a high school graduation gown.

The photos decorate the celebration of life for Paiyton Pick, a 22-year-old who was killed in January, her body found inside a home in Centreville, N.S., that had been set on fire.

Her boyfriend, Justin Joseph Benjamin, 28, has been charged with second-degree murder and arson with disregard to human life.

Police say this was a case of intimate partner violence, the latest in a spike that has left six women dead in Nova Scotia since October.

In Ontario a few months ago there was a case of familicide, where a father killed his wife and two kids in a small community in the north, and then himself. Not much information released but rumour has it that he had a Gadsden flag on the property which is an American right wing extremism flag, and that he had been fired from his job for espousing conspiracy theories. Sometimes I think people just drive themselves crazy.
