Mother's Day matricide

  Lots of stories about maternal love today on Mothers' Day, so we've got to counter that.
  Here's the tragic story of model Myra Kanner a 21-year-old model, who in 1972, purchased a $50 rifle, shot and killed her mother Anne Kanner, 50, with bullets to the dome and shoulder at their home at 4953 Rene Coty in Laval on April 5. She then returned the rifle for a refund.

   Kanner bought the weapons at International Firearms on Bleury, a spot where a separatist terrorist had killed two employees eight years earlier.
   Her father Harry Kanner, 48, had been killed by stick up men in a $3,000 August 1968 at his scrap business General Junk Shop at 3701 St. Ambroise St. Henri. Two men were charged with shooting him six times in the chest and stomach.
   Myra Kanner had gone into a deep depression after her father was killed, according to her bro Hyman Kanner. She denied killing her mother, whom she said she loved.
   "When she died I died with her," said Myra Kanner.
   She was allowed out on parole in July and acquitted of murder on 28 September 1972.
   She was taken to a mental hospital. She explained that she had gone mad after her father was murdered. She had trouble sleeping and someone was making threatening phone calls to her home.
  She was found not guilty by reason of insanity.  Kanner would be about 64 now.
