Surrey Six Killer Loses Bid to Block Jailhouse Footage

Cody Rae Haevischer, convicted in the 2007 Surrey Six gang-related killings, has lost a court application to block the Crown from using 210 hours of surveillance footage from the Surrey Pre-trial Centre. The footage, recorded in 2009, was deemed admissible by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Martha Devlin, who ruled it relevant to the ongoing abuse of process hearing. Haevischer alleges misconduct by police, prosecutors, and corrections staff during his original prosecution. His conviction was upheld by the B.C. Court of Appeal in 2021. The evidentiary hearing continues in New Westminster.
