I saw this featured on Global this morning and could not believe this guy was waving and laughing, thinking it was all a big joke. i hope he ends up being the serial killer they have been looking for. These types of guys are the reason the death penalty is a good thing....

'Mockery' from man charged in prostitute's murder angers family

By ELIZA BARLOW, SUN MEDIAFORT SASKATCHEWAN -- The man accused of killing an Edmonton-area prostitute gave bystanders a big smile and a thumbs-up yesterday as he entered court.

Thomas George Svekla, 38, who once told a Sun Media reporter he was a person of interest in the slaying of another sex trade worker, is charged with second-degree murder and interfering with a dead body for allegedly transporting it in a hockey bag.

A confident-looking Svekla stared at spectators in the packed courtroom or focused his gaze on the ceiling as the charges were read in provincial court.

As Svekla left the courthouse, he mugged for the assembled pack of media, coyly putting a finger to his lips in a silent "Ssh" gesture.

He grinned and waved his handcuffed hands before he was driven away.

Svekla's behaviour outraged the family of Rachel Quinney, who was found murdered and dumped in a Strathcona County field in June 2004.

Edmonton Sun columnist Andrew Hanon says Svekla told him in late 2004 that he was a person of interest in the Quinney case, which remains unsolved.


Svekla told Hanon he stumbled over Quinney's body while partying with another prostitute in a remote wooded area.

"All we've got right now is this guy's mockery and his cocky gestures," said Quinney's sister-in-law Charlotte Lajimodiere of Svekla's courthouse antics. "He's just laughing in everybody's faces."

Investigators, meanwhile, now say the victim could have been dead as long as nine months.

In court, Crown special prosecutor Clifton Purvis amended the two charges against Svekla.

He is now charged with killing 36-year-old Theresa Merrie Innes and interfering with her body sometime between Aug. 7, 2005 and May 8, 2006.

Svekla did not enter a plea at his hearing. His next court date is May 25.

Purvis said the case will stay in Fort Saskatchewan for now because many of the witnesses may be from the area
