BANK DONATES LAND WHERE GIRL’S BODY FOUND

A Toronto- based bank has given a small Newfoundland town the property where the body of a five-year-old girl was found after she was allegedly murdered while visiting her father. In early February, the house in Carbonear belonging to Trent Butt was torn down as about dozen neighbours looked on. Police investigators say the man’s daughter, Quinn Butt, died in the house after a fire broke out. The bank that held a lien against the home, CIBC, took ownership and demolished the house on Feb. 8. On Monday, the bank confirmed it would hand over the property to the town for free. “CIBC acquired the property in order to create an opportunity for the town to ... repurpose the land in the best interests of the community,” the bank’s district vice- president, Mark McGuire, said.
