Now, after a Brampton jury on Saturday delivered guilty verdicts in the disturbing triple murder trial, a group of extended family members are speaking out for the first time to share their concerns about the earlier death investigations.

“We are haunted by lingering questions about the investigative and forensic handling of the deaths of Bill and Bridget Harrison,” the Harrison and Blackwell families said in a statement. “We need time to process the verdicts, reflect, and determine the best avenues to address our questions.”

Two dozen members of the Harrison family — a group of siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins who have had questions for nearly a decade about how their loved ones died — steeled themselves Saturday as a jury foreman read the verdicts in the courtroom.

Melissa Merritt, a Mississauga mother of six, and Christopher Fattore, her common-law spouse, were found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2013 death of Caleb Harrison, Merritt’s ex-husband.

Merritt, 37, was also charged with first-degree murder in the 2010 death of her former mother-in-law, Bridget Harrison. On that count the court declared a mistrial after the jury could not agree on a verdict.

Fattore, 40, was found guilty of murdering both Caleb Harrison and Bridget Harrison. The jury declared him not guilty of second-degree murder in the 2009 death of Bill Harrison, a charge he faced alone.

“Today’s verdicts bring some relief, but the pain and sorrow we have experienced through the tragic loss of the Harrison family . . . will remain with us, in our hearts and minds, forever,” the family statement said.
