A tragic incident occurred in Brampton, Ontario, where a 29-year-old mother of four, Savannah Kulla, was killed by her ex-boyfriend, 39-year-old Anthony Deschepper. In a shocking series of events, Deschepper abducted Kulla and their one-year-old daughter before fleeing the scene.

Details of the Incident

On Tuesday afternoon, police found Kulla’s lifeless body in a shopping center parking lot. According to authorities, Deschepper allegedly dumped her there after committing the heinous act. Their daughter was later located safe with family members in Niagara Falls.

Amber Alert and the Manhunt

• Police issued an Amber Alert for the missing child shortly after Kulla’s death.

In the early hours of Wednesday, officers from Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit discovered Deschepper at a gas station around 2:30 a.m. An “interaction” between Deschepper and the police escalated, resulting in him being shot dead. A firearm was recovered at the scene, although investigators found no evidence of Deschepper firing any shots.

Kulla was not only a victim but a devoted mother. She had three sons from a previous relationship, ages 6, 5, and 4, who are now under their father’s care. Kulla shared a one-year-old daughter with Deschepper.
