British Columbia’s premier says the province worked with the federal government to change its bail rules, so he is not sure why a man with a long and violent criminal history was released from jail weeks before the stabbing death of a woman in her Surrey, B.C., home.

David Eby called the murder “horrific,” saying the reformed federal rules should have prevented Adam Mann’s release.
