When lawyers for the estate of murdered billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman asked a judge to seal probate files in 2018, they warned the court of “risks of violence and kidnapping” to heirs and the estate trustees if the files became public.
That specific written warning was footnoted to a sealed court document known until recently only as the “affidavit of AB.”
But now that the mysterious affidavit has been unsealed by the Supreme Court of Canada, one thing is clear: The words “violence” and “kidnapping” were never there.
