Drainage Ditch: Ctv News and Border Crossings

drainage ditch: Her friends say she did not tell them about any plans to move north, but it is believed she may have been planning to move to Toronto to live with her daughter, according to CTV. Officials say her body was found in a drainage ditch in Noyes, Minn., the closest American community to Emerson, Man. Friends of Mavis Otuteye, 57, told CTV News that she was a religious woman and had been living in Delaware. It's most likely that she was attempting to get to Canada. If Otuteye was indeed an asylum seeker, her death would be the first fatality connected to the recent wave of illegal border crossings. Evidently, she didn't make it, Matt Vig, deputy sheriff with the Kittson County Sheriff's Office, told CTV News. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
