Ruth Bonneville Free Press LOCAL - stalker Stalking Story. Photo taken when Emma and her mom thought they saw him out their window while I was there taking pictures. Anonymous photos of Emma (by herself and also with her mother) in their apartment in the Osborne Village area, to tell their story of being stalked by a un-homed man. They have a protection order but still have to deal with the fear of his return now that he is out of jail. The Judge allowed the stalker to live just 200 m away, instead of the usual 300m, upon his request. STALKING CASE (for Saturday Front and Centre): When Emma met Anthony Edward Liwyj, he was banging on her front door in bare feet and with two black eyes, pleading for a drink of water. The 36-year-old Winnipeg woman didn’t know it then, but her willingness to help a stranger the morning of Aug. 4 would mark the beginning of a month of terror, in which she says Liwyj repeatedly turned up outside the home in the wee hours and late at night — trying to get in. “To this day, I still can’t figure it out and I think that’s the scariest part about it,” Emma said. She and her 66-year-old mother live together. See story by Tyler April 9th, 2026
