On November 23, 2006, Blair Donnelly, a former pastor brutally murdered his fifteen year old daughter by stabbing her multiple times. According to facts agreed on by the crown and the defence council, Donnelly had been reading the Bible that morning had had interpreted events of the day to be messages from God to kill is family. He carried a concealed knife around with him all day, and when his wife noticed his strange behaviour she called the families pastor to the house to pray with them.
Later that evening Donnelly came home to find his daughter sitting at the computer and he interpreted this as a sign from God to murder her. He was found praying outside his church with blood on his hands.
According to reports from people who knew Donnelly, he had left his ministry because he was battling demons, and not in the metaphorical sense. Donnelly believed he was doing such important work for God that he was under constant Satanic attack.
Blair Donnelly has now been found not guilty by reason of insanity. He me be insane, but he sure as hell *is* guilty!
What is your source showing that Blair Donnelly was a pastor? I have spoken with pastors who knew him in Kitimat, B.C. and there is no mention of him being a pastor.
Here’s a Source for ya! I used to attend People’s Church in Edmonton,AB when Mr.Donnelly was the Single’s Pastor with his wife!
My source is: http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=7e1aebea-03b8-4cb5-8edd-eb705e1c04ba
“Donnelly, a former pulp-mill worker and pastor, is being sent to a forensic psychiatric unit…”
I checked out the article and have found at least one error: “Stephanie’s mom sold the home shortly after the killing…” The house hasn’t sold as I have viewed it myself. I will check on where Blair may have been a pastor.
Blair was a pastor in Edmonton at People’s Church in the late 1980s early 1990s. He and Trish gave leadership to the single adults in the church. He was also just outside of Sudbury in 94/95, but returned to Edmonton. He and Trish were a great team, and it is hard to fathom that he could have this kind of breakdown.
I feel Sick,I knew Blair I liked Him He seemed like a good man,i only found out today about this tragic story,i remember after he left edmonton he went to toronto, i seen him after that back in edmonton,He told me about losing his mind in toronto,i was really freeked out and uncomfortable hearing the things he spoke about,of course i didnt realize how far gone his mental state was,i feel so sad for his family,and him,I am a christian,
it does confuse me how a man like this can get so lost,and i can certianly say if a voice told me to do harm to anyone i would,know it was NOT God speaking to me,
You all speak from the adult point of view. The view of him as a person.
Did you actually think of the victim here?
His daughter is still dead. Stephanie is still gone you know that, right?
Who gives a flying fuck if he was a pastor or not?
Who cares if they sold the house that was just down the street from mine, where the horrific crime took place?
You guys are talking about bullshit.
Stephanie was a great person. I’ve known her ever since kindergarten. She was a nice girl, very smart too…
I remember going back to school after this all happened. Nobody seemed the same. Nobody in our grade anyways. Everyone seemed so… Silent. Almost drained, like everyone felt she was gone.
Nobody wanted to speak of it.
Some people (mostly her closest friends) broke down in class.
Other people, like myself, just felt a sting in the back of our minds. Like someone we’ve known forever, a regular face to see year after year… That seat in class, was missing…
What were we supposed to do? What were we supposed to think? Some of us were angry.
I don’t give a shit why he did it. He should have suffered the same fate of his daughter.
Nobody deserves the right to take Stephanie away from us and get off free for it.
You know she would have graduated with us last year eh? Class of 08.
Still can’t believe it. It’s been over two years now.
Seems like it was just yesterday we knew her. And we were in the same town, same school, same class, and hell even on the same street.
One of those familiar faces you see everyday, just… gone.
Hard to believe…
Life isn’t cruel. The people who think it is their duty to shape others lives are the ones who are cruel.
Rot in hell Blair.
We miss you steph.
I am with you on this.
Not guilty because of insanity, of course, doesn’t mean that the court does not see him as guilty – but simply that sending him to jail would do nothing to help correct the wrong or indeed, correct him.
I feel for that poor girl.
Actually it means that he will not have a criminal record. This means that at such time as he is released, he will be free to live his life with a clean slate, and the public will never be aware that there is a psychopathic killer living in their neighbourhood.
That’s as good as finding him not guilty, as it has the same unjust result for society.
I really am sick of people being found “not guilty” for insanity reasons. There’s no excuse for what he did.
Well He Was On The Pastoral Staff in Edmonton Alberta “Peoples Church” and The Church Or So Called Church Or EX MEMBERS/NON and STAFF Calls it a CULT YES CULT Since it Started in the 1960′s!!
Wonder Why Since He Left Here At Peoples”Church” More Of Our FRIENDS Are getting Their Mood Problems/Disorders Out Of Control Due Too STRESS,GUILT TRIPS For not being healed in his Young Adult Meetings Etc
That’s WHY 75% Of the Church Is GONE Since he LEFT and seeing False Teachings of the HEALTH/WEALTH Teachings”Resurgence” and Yelling Breakthrough and Telling PEOPLE They Don’t Have enough Faith Too Be HEALED/Sin In Their LIVES!! “Maybe Tell That too a Pastor That Was hiding His Heart Problems and Now has Neck problems from a Car accident In 1994!!
I Guess it’s TRUE WHAT COMES AROUND Will Come back and Now The Pastor Is Having Neck Problems from a Car Crash in 1994 and Had Heart Surgery a Little While BACK!! Maybe He never Had Enough Faith too be HEALED Or Has SIN In His LIFE/Family!!
Well YES Blair Donnelly Taught This at Peoples “Church” in Edmonton Where He was on Staff as Assistant Pastor till 1994 too Move to B.C!!!!!!!
Hi Brian,
I appreciate your comments, but in truth I found it difficult to decipher what you were trying to say given the unusual grammar and capitalization.
the hells angels are gonna hammersmash his skull in, after slicing and skinning him with razor blades.
