NEW WESTMINSTER – Did “The Entity” make him do it? Surrey resident Ernest Allan Hosack, 40, is being tried this week in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster for second-degree murder in connection with the gruesome
death of his roommate Richard Falardeau, 54, in 2008. Part of Falardeau’s body was found inside a black suitcase inside the attic apartment the men shared in Newton in the summer of 2008. During opening statements in court on Monday, Crown prosecutor Brad Kielmann told Justice Terry Schultes that other body parts were found in plastic bags in the refrigerator’s freezer. Falardeau’s skull was found three months later, lying in marshy tall grass in a hollow

The court heard Falardeau met Hosack at a local coffee shop in June 2008, and Hosack moved into the bungalow Falardeau was renting at 14358 88th Ave. Later that summer, Falardeau’s brother reported him missing, leading to the terrible discovery on Aug. 21, 2008, in the upstairs suite. Crown prosecutor Christopher
McPherson said, outside court, that Hosack spoke to police of “The Entity” and when they asked if they could speak with it, he replied in a deeper voice that claimed to be his deceased granddad Ernie goochie goochie coo. The voice said Falardeau died quickly and characterized it as murder. This voice told the officers he cut off the victim’s thumbs and genitals “and froze them in hell” because Falardeau had been messing with some of his belongings “for ill will.”

A soggy but determined group of more than 3,000 cyclists conquered a weekend ride from Surrey to Seattle. This year’s Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, which left Cloverdale Fairgrounds at around 7 a.m. Saturday, raised more than $11.2 million for research and care at BC Cancer Agency. Cyclists had to raise at least $2,500 to participate in the fourth annual ride, a 200kilometre trek over two days. The 2013 event will again feature route choices and tracking-chip technology, organizers said Sunday.
