Country Lane Resident (Off Kipps) Pleads Guilty to Killing Mother 

Click on the link above to read Free Press reporter Jane Sims account of this gruesome murder which occurred back on April 20, 2010.

The murder occurred almost one year to the date that three Kipps Lane residents went to the Community & Protective Services Committee of London City Council pleading for more action on the drugs and crime on Kipps Lane and in the area. 

At that meeting they were asked bluntly by City Councillors if they believed another murder like the February 14, 2009, would happen again. All three stated at the April 2009 CAPS meeting that another was inevitable. 

Genevieve Reed plead guilty to the murder of her mother in court and she will be sentenced on July 24th.

Few who live in the area near Kipps Lane and Adelaide will forget the morning when a school bus full of children had to endure the sight of a covered corpse being wheeled out to the van as it made its way to an area school.

Sims’ story of Reed’s drug and alcohol filled life ending with the murder of her own mother was tragic and sad. According to the article, her mother was Reed’s last lifeline.
