‘The beginning of the end’: families of 2 women killed in 1983 speak at sentencing
The August 1983 murder of Susan Tice tore apart the Tice family and taught her daughter the lesson that “men used sex as a weapon.”
Christian Tice, who was 16 years old when her mother was killed in Toronto, spoke at a sentencing hearing Monday, saying she has been left with lasting trust and relationship issues following the “gut-wrenching, soul-shattering” loss.
“This type of crime teaches you about a boogeyman, a monster, unknown, unseen, hiding, someone to blame,” she said. “On a profound level, that changes you.”
Last October, Joseph George Sutherland pleaded guilty to the sexual assault and murder of Susan Tice, 45, and Erin Gilmour, 22, who was killed in December 1983. The two women lived in Toronto and did not know each other.
At the time of his November 2022 arrest, Sutherland was living in Moosonee, Ont. He was 61 at the time.
During Monday’s hearing, several family members and friends of both women shared victim impact statements. During hers, Tice recalled spending sleepless nights “worrying if this evil will find me the same way it found my mom.”
She said she keeps a baseball bat in her bedroom and considers her squeaking front door “an early alarm system” in case of an intruder.
Following her mother’s murder, Tice said her family shut down with grief — signalling “the beginning of the end of our close knit family.” She said Monday that her family is still estranged today.
Tice described her mother as “the centre of my world,” recalling her kindness, her laughter and her unique cooking inventions, including “spaghetti hamburger pie.”
“She loved us all as fiercely as we loved her,” Tice said.
The hearing continues.
