 Stalking Story.

Photo of Emma looking out her window at the apartment block, just 200 metres away, where he sometimes stays. 
The Judge allowed the stalker to live just 200 m away, instead of the usual 300m, upon his request.  

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.  

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.
