Circumstances
On September 22, 2015, Basil Borutski killed a woman he did handyman work for, Carol Culleton, and two former-partners, Anastasia Kuzyk, and Nathalie Warmerdam.
The morning began with Borustki strangling Culleton to death with a television wire. He then stole her car and drove to Kyzyk’s home where he killed her with a 12-gauge shotgun as her terrified sister ran for her life. Finally, he drove to Warmerdam’s home and shot her to death as her son, Adrian Warmerdam, ran out of the house.
Warmerdam was a home care nurse and had worked at a local hospice. She met Borutski while she was caring for his father in hospice. She had just recently separated from her husband.
As Borutski’s violence escalated, Warmerdam finally made a police report and he was sentenced to 150 days in jail for assault and uttering death threats. When he was released, he was ordered to attend a partner-assault-response program, but he never showed up.
Warmerdam was afraid of Borutski and kept a“domestic violence panic alarm” on her bedside table, as well as a shotgun under her bed. Unfortunately, these things did not help her when Borutski stormed into her home on that September morning and shot her dead.
Warmerdam’s son was lying on the couch when he heard his mother scream in the kitchen and run into the living room with Borustski behind her aiming a shotgun. Adrian ran out of the house and heard the shotgun blast that killed his mother. He hid in the bushes and called 911.
