Supreme Court refuses to intervene in Mountie burial dispute[/url]
The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to intervene on behalf of
the parents of one of four Mounties killed in the Mayerthorpe massacre
in their legal bid to keep their son's body in a northern Alberta
cemetery.In a decision released without comment Thursday, the top court
rejected a request by Const. Leo Johnston's parents to review the case.Kelly Johnston said her husband would have chosen to be buried at
the national RCMP cemetery in Regina if he had known about it. But his
parents say he deserves the peace of remaining where he was buried in
Lac La Biche, Alta., 220 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.Grace and Ron Johnston have also said moving their son's body after it's been interred would violate Métis tradition.
