Local MP Niki Ashton is calling out the media coverage of a murder trial in Winnipeg.

Ashton said that the press coverage and headlines are re-victimising Tina Fontaine, who was killed in 2014.

She went on to say that "misleading headlines that focused on toxicology issues at the trial were offensive and disrespectful".

The MP added that the end of violence against Indigenous women and girls must start by honouring and respecting victims like Tina Fontaine.
