WARNING

Hans Alberts, 77, was stabbed to death April 16th, 2008.

Alberts was Edmonton's tenth homicide victim of the year.

Haldane Alexander Jensen-Huot, 23, was charged with second-degree murder. The charge was later changed to first-degree.

Just before 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 77-year-old Hans Alberts and his wife Adelaide were getting into their gold Honda Accord in the parking lot of the Jasper Gates shopping centre at Stony Plain Road and 149th Street when a man approached.

The elderly couple had just eaten at the Royal Fork Buffet, 15061 Stony Plain Road, celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary.

A struggle took place and Alberts fell to the ground. Blood quickly drained away from him – the result of multiple stab wounds.

Emergency services were called and Alberts was rushed to the University of Alberta Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigators, soon joined by homicide detectives, remained on the scene interviewing numerous witnesses to the broad daylight attack.

Police described the suspect as a white male, mid 20's to mid 30's, about 6-feet 1-inch tall with a skinny build – approximately 160 lbs, wearing a white T-shirt, a black front-zipped hoodie with new-looking black sweat pants. He had a pale complexion with a possible mole or scab on his lower cheek and his hair was shaved close to the scalp.

Due to the random nature of the attack, police felt the suspect was dangerous and likely lived in the area, possibly north of Stony Plain Road.

Those with information about the incident were asked to contact Edmonton police at 780-423-4567, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.tipsubmit.com - a secure tip submission web site.

Insp. Terry Rocchio said there was no evidence of an attempted robbery and that police were uncertain of a motive in the wordless assault.

Robert Meyer told media he was sitting in a nearby Felicitea teahouse when the attack occured. He lent his shirt in an attempt to stop Alberts' bleeding.

"I came running, the guy was down, bloodied, another woman came and was helping him out and I phoned the ambulance," Meyer said.

"The guy's wife was very distraught. She tried to call 911 but she got the police complaint line.

"In order to help stop the bleeding, I had to take off my shirt to use as a compress to sort of restrict the blood flow.

"Nobody should have to face" seeing their husband of so many years brutally stabbed and die in front of their eyes, Mair said.

Another witness said Alberts was struggling to stay conscious after the attack.

Paul Woida and Alex Jumpsen were also in the teahouse and observed the fight, later seeing a woman hitting a man with her purse.

"The man was helping his wife into a car and a man – out of nowhere – stabbed him," Woida said, indicating a repeated thrusting motion toward his chest.

When the two men approached, the woman was crying and told them her husband had been stabbed.

"She started freaking out. She said someone was being attacked.

"She was trying to get rid of this guy with her purse. And we ran out and there was blood everywhere. He was pale and lifeless.

"He was completely still on the ground, pale and bleeding," Woida said. "We started freaking out. We didn't know what to do."

Woida ran into a Safeway store, asking for anyone who knew CPR, while Jumpsen asked people in nearby shops to call 911.

The victim's wife was not hurt in the attack.

"He was gone by the time we got out of the tea place," Jumpsen said of the suspect. He later saw a man run north across Stony Plain Road who didn't appear to have anything in his hands.

"It's a sad day," said Jimmy Strand, who worked at the nearby Domo gas station.

"There's a lot of panhandlers in the neighbourhood and sometimes they get a little more agitated than other times. The violence is there, but in the middle of the afternoon this close to home, it's different."

Seasoned homicide Det. Bill Clark was on scene, part of a large police presence that continued well into the evening.

"It appears to us to be a random act of deadly violence," Clark said.

"There is no connection at this time between the suspect and the elderly gentleman that was killed.

"At this time we don't have any words spoken by anyone – that's how random it is."

Police interviewed persons in all of the businesses in the shopping centre in an effort to locate additional witnesses. Officers went door-to-door in the neighbourhood to the north of the shopping centre as investigators believed the suspect may live there.

Homicide Det. Robert Mills told media of what other steps police were taking in their search for the suspect.

"We are looking into video," Mills said. Up to five shops in the area have cameras and may have recorded the man's appearance in the shopping centre.

Mills added the next likely step would be to release a composite sketch to the public should a usable image not be found.

In a city where homicide has seemingingly become commonplace, the nature of the broad daylight and very public murder of the senior raised this particular incident of violence to political levels.

"It's a horrific incident, that something like this could happen in our city," said Mayor Stephen Mandel.

"The stabbing of the husband has been a horrific experience the wife went through. The police need to find out what caused this, why it happened, and if it is random it's a concern we all have to have.

"If it's a random thing it's very difficult to do anything just like you can't stop murders. If someone is going to murder someone it's difficult to stop them."

"It's the sense of violence in society we need to deal with, and the homelessness if it was a panhandler or something like that which I don't know, we'll have to wait and see.

"My thoughts and prayers go to the family and the wife who must have gone through an incredible, traumatic experience.

"It hard to comment. I don't know any more than you do. I read the morning paper ... it's a tragedy, an absolute tragedy."

Mandel added he's asked for more information from police and said the case drew attention to the fact the city needs more money from the province to hire additional police officers.

Ward One councillor Linda Sloan represents the area in which the Jasper Gates shopping centre is located. She also frequents the busy strip mall anchored by a Safeway and a London Drugs outlet.

"I feel sick, I don't know what to say, I shop there all the time," Sloan said, adding she couldn't believe a crime like this had happened in Edmonton.

"It just really has made me feel differently about our city. Stabbings happen all the time, and I perhaps wrongfully associated them with the bar scene and drinking.

"This stabbing with a senior couple in broad daylight going about their day, celebrating their anniversary, it just puts the whole unsafe nature of the city in a different context for me.

"We need to know more to ensure it doesn't happen again," Sloan said. "How could this happen? How could this be prevented? I think it just strikes home the vulnerability."

Coun. Karen Leibovici, who also represents the west end and is on the police commission, said she was shocked.

"It's not something you expect when you're out for an afternoon," she said. "I'm obviously worried about it."

Leibovici noted the stabbing happened after efforts to revitalise the adjacent Stony Plain Road area had gotten into full-swing.

The area immediately west of Jasper Gates had been targeted by the city in 2006 as part of an attempt to address agressive panhandling concerns.

Stony Plain Road and Area Business Association

The stretch of Stony Plain Road from 150 Street to 156 Street is dotted with second hand stores, pawnshops, massage parlours and peep shows.

At the April 17th Edmonton Police Commission meeting, Leibovici asked Chief Mike Boyd to arrange meetings to help reassure residents of three large seniors' residences located near the crime scene.

Contacted at the Alberta Legislature, Liberal leader Kevin Taft also spoke of the attack. His Edmonton-Riverview constituency office is located eight blocks from the Jasper Gates strip mall.

"I'm in that parking lot frequently, and it's just stunning. Your heart breaks for this family. Its blatant, random murder, and it's so shocking it just leaves people speechless."

Police Chief Mike Boyd appealed to the public for help solving what he called one of the most tragic homicides he's ever had to deal with.

"Every murder is a tragic situation. The circumstances around this as we know it now are just one of the most tragic that I've seen in my 38 years," the chief said.

"We're pulling out all the stops, and I can assure you there will be no stone left unturned.

"Twenty-nine years of marriage, and this man's life ends like this, and his wife having to witness that. That's what troubles me when we start to see these types of situations."

Boyd said the victim lived in Edmonton, but not in the area. He did not confirm widespread reports that the suspect was a panhandler but acknowledged they had become more aggressive in the past year.

"We're not going to lock ourselves into any theory right now. We have to be objective and look at the information as it comes in.

"It's very important in any kind of criminal investigation, but certainly in a homicide investigation."

Boyd also said police believe the suspect either lived in the area, or had some sort of connection to the area.

"We know there were lots of people in the area doing business, and other people coming and going, who we believe may have important information and we are appealing to them to come forward," he said.

"At this point, we would like to hear from anyone renting a basement apartment, or renting any kind of room to anyone. That would be very helpful to our investigation, even if it's to the point where we can eliminate people from suspicion."

Prior to coming to Edmonton in 2006, Mike Boyd was an interim Chief of the Toronto Police Service and part of the Green Ribbon Task Force that investigated Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, both held responsible for the 1991 sex-slayings of teenage Ontario schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.

Questioned days after Alberts' murder, Premier Ed Stelmach seemed challenged in his attempt to provide an insightful comment.

"I want to see action ... put the resources in it – and it's not only more police – I don't think on city streets would have avoided the incident with the stabbing of a senior in broad daylight. It's a whole continuum and also dealing especially with the increasing drug and traffic trade in the province of Alberta."

On Friday, April 18th police officially identified the stabbing victim as Hans Alberts.

Neighbours of Hans and Adelaide Alberts believed the couple had no children and no relatives in the city.

Hans was described as a chatty, outgoing man, who was retired from working in the oil patch. The friendly and energetic senior enjoyed gardening and fixing up his house.

The medical examiner confirmed that Alberts died of multiple stab wounds.

Later on Friday police announced they had a "subject of interest" in custody.

Further details would only be released "if and when criminal charges are laid," according to a police statement issued.

The person was apprehended Friday morning in Regina as he stepped off a bus.

On Saturday police charged Haldane Alexander Jensen-Huot, 23, with second-degree murder.

Jensen-Huot is pictured at left in a 1999 Strathcona High School yearbook and more recently at right in an image taken from his online Nexopia profile.

It was later revealed that a tip from the public put police on Jensen-Huot's trail in Calgary.

It was there on April 17th – the day after Alberts was stabbed – that Jensen-Huot boarded a Greyhound bus destined for Montreal.

A police surveillance team tailed the bus until it stopped in Regina where Jensen-Huot was arrested with the aid of local law enforcement. It was later learned that more than 30 officers were involved in the investigation.

"Edmonton Police Service contacted us for us to see if this gentleman was here and was travelling this way. We were able to identify and make that arrest," Regina Police Service spokesman Lara Guzik Rostad said.

Investigators flew out to identify the suspect and remain in the Saskatchewan capital where they interviewed Jensen-Huot while beginning the process of transferring him back to Alberta. He was subsequently transferred to jails in Saskatoon and North Battleford before he arrived in Edmonton.

Jensen-Huot was known to Edmonton authorities through a complaint of him causing a disturbance in March 2008.

The motive behind the attack on Alberts was still under investigation. There was also no word if a weapon had been recovered.

Police thanked the public for all the tips that had come in during the investigation.

"Without a doubt, the public made a huge difference in this case," a spokesman said.

On April 24th, 2008 Jensen-Huot arrived back in Edmonton. He made his first court appearance the next day.

Tall, skinny with short hair and long, thin sideburns, Jensen-Huot remained expressionless during the few minutes he appeared in court. He leaned against the back of the prisoner's box, wearing prisoner coveralls and shackled at the hands and feet.

No plea was entered against the second-degree murder charge.

The 23-year-old heard that his case had been put over until May 2nd, 2008 so lawyers could examine evidence submitted by police. He was to remain in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre.

Chief Crown prosecutor Steven Bilodeau said he would personally handle the case. The announcement was unusual in that it marked the first time in over 10 years that a chief Crown has taken on such a case, likely due to its high-profile nature – see below.

"It’s important to the community that they know we are taking this as seriously as possible," Bilodeau said outside court. He then declined further comment.

Representing Jensen-Huot was high-profile defence lawyer Mona Duckett.

Lead homicide Det. Bill Clark also appeared in court and later spoke to reporters.

"This was a random attack of deadly violence," Clark said. "This was an act that anyone of us, including all of us standing here, could have happened to.

"Mr. Albert could not defend himself – it doesn’t even look like he seen it coming.

"There was no rhyme or reason why he was picked out ... that's why the public is outraged," Clark said. "Unfortunately for Mr. Alberts, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Det. Clark also revealed details of how Jensen-Huot came to police attention.

The first tip that indicated Jensen-Huot may have been a suspect came from a west division constable who had had prior dealings with him. More information came from the public.

"This suspect came to light within 17 hours of our investigation and we were able to track him down," said Clark. "It was a whirl-wind three days last week and things just came together. We got some good breaks and it all came together."

The detective praised the efforts of both the police and the public.

Clark confirmed that a murder weapon had not been found, and that police had identified no gang ties in the slaying.

"I still have twelve detectives working on this case along with our crime scenes unit and there's still a lot of work to be done. We're still early in the investigation.

"We feel we have some good evidence and we feel we're gathering more evidence as time goes by."

About the five hours Clark spent interviewing Jensen-Huot, the veteran detective said very little.

"He is definitely an angry individual who has some issues ... it's before the courts so I can't comment on that right," he said.

According to Doug Knight, president of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, hours after Jensen-Huot made his appearance in court he physically assaulted three officers at the Edmonton Remand Centre.

Knight said Jensen-Huot "was being transferred from a health unit and decided to go nuts on the guards that were transporting him." He said one of the guards suffered minor injuries during the attack.

Guards were able to restrain Jensen-Huot, Knight said. "Now he's under watch so that any time he moves in the centre he will be shackled."

The attack was nothing out of the ordinary for jail guards, Knight added.

"To be honest, it's an event that happens every day," he said. "The remand centres, especially with the gangs these days, are getting far more dangerous than they ever have been before."

A spokesman for the Alberta solicitor general's office said he was unaware of the assault.

"The information that I have is that there was no assault on any staff and that there were no injuries," Andy Weiler said. Any injuries would have been reported to police and investigated, said the spokesman.

On May 2nd, 2008, at Jensen-Huot's second court appearance, the Crown announced that the accused man would now face a charge of first-degree murder.

The new charge was read out in provincial court and was heard by Jensen-Huot's lawyer. The man remained in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre and was to near appear in court on May 16th.

Prosecutors stated there had been a review of the evidence gathered since Jensen-Huot's arrest and they decided to upgrade the charge from second-degree murder to first-degree.

Outside court Det. Bill Clark, lead investigator on the case, spoke with media.

"Well, I've seen it happen before," he said.

"A lot of times, once they've seen a bit of the evidence, and see what's going on, we've had it go either way. Sometimes it'll go from second-degree murder to manslaughter, but in this case they feel there's enough evidence there to suggest a first-degree murder charge. That's why they laid it.

"It was the Crown’s decision to upgrade the charges to first-degree murder and from the police service perspective and the investigators’ perspective we fully endorse that position," Clark said.

Det. Clark had earlier stated the attack on Hans Alberts was random and unprovoked. The new and more serious charge carries with it evidence of planning and premeditation.

When asked what led prosecutors to change their mind, Clark replied he couldn’t discuss the case further because it was before the court.

He added the investigation was still ongoing with police continuing to gather evidence.

Facebook, a popular internet social networking site, not only offered readers a glimpse into the troubled mind of a man named Haldane Alexander Jensen-Huot but may become part of the evidence used against him at trial.

While it was still available online, Jensen-Huot's profile chronicled the man's thoughts before and after the murder of Hans Alberts.

In the days before April 16th, updates on the site included such entries as

Haldane is made of puppies and snuggles
Haldane isnt gonna make it another two years
Haldane is gonna spell it out P-O-S-T-A-L
Haldane is a human fucking being start treating me like one
Haldane is tired of getting punished
Haldane is EVIL INCARNATE ... and semi illiterate
Haldane is doing the right thing
Haldane would feel sorta bad about hurting innocent people
Haldane is having an evil-gasm
Haldane is losing his sense of right and wrong
Haldane says crack is whack
Haldane says whatever you gotta do to gets to that high

Just an hour before the homicide, Jensen-Huot posted four videos on his wall.

One of them is a trailer for the HBO documentary Gladiator Days: Anatomy of a Prison Murder about Troy Kell, a white supremacist on death row in Nevada.

Another video depicts the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang, an ultra-violent group with origins in Central America whose goal is to become the top gang in the United States.

Jensen-Huot comments that "to bad there not more of them in edmonton, maybe id belong somewhere then."

His last updates come just after 3:00 p.m.

Haldane says whatever you gotta do to gets to that high
Haldane had a dream where my knife melted

Three hours after the murder, at 7:21 p.m., Haldane changed his profile picture.

Five hours after Alberts was stabbed, at 9:05 p.m., Jensen-Huot updated his online status.

Haldane cries a lot, not as must as the last few years though

When questioned about the Facebook content, a police spokesman said that it would be part of the evidence forwarded to the Crown prosecutor.

"This individual's background will definitely be delved into. As we try to establish a motive in this case all aspects, such as (the Facebook profile), will be looked at."

Jensen-Huot was once an active member of the Facebook tribute to Brandon Sean Dierich. Dierich was shot to death on July 24th, 2007.

"BRANDON you were my best friend through high school never forget the days we spent not going to school some of the best times of my life," he wrote in August. "Never forget you."

Dierich was Edmonton's seventeenth homicide victim of 2007. A seventeen-year-old male was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm during the commission of an offence, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Jensen-Huot had similar pages, under two account names, on Nexopia, another popular internet social networking site. All pages and entries have been taken down from their respective sites.

Nexopia spokesman Chris Webster told the Edmonton Journal that Jensen-Huot was "definitely a problem member" who was banned one month earlier from the website for posting offensive messages.

Webster said moderators had been keeping an eye on Jensen-Huot's posts prior to the banning but nothing that he wrote gave them cause to inform police.

As to what Jensen-Huot's online musings indicated, Global Edmonton sought the insight of Les Block, a forensic psychologist.

"It sounds like a person that's deeply disturbed and troubled by a lot of things," Block noted.

The psychologist said he was not surprised such thoughts found their way onto such a public forum.

"I think that with the technology that's available to us, I think there's a greater de-conditioning and a de-sensitisation of things that used to be taboo.

Block cautioned that messages like those posted by Jensen-Huot should not be taken literally.

"You need to refine your method of determing who's a real risk – a bonafide risk – versus those that appear to be using words to impress or to fit in."

Interpretation of the comments could prove fertile ground for both the Crown and the defence should they be introduced at trial.

"It's a very complex situation. There's going to be a lot of variables that will surface over time," Block offered.

Court documents obtained by media suggested that Haldane Jensen-Huot had a violent past.

Jensen-Huot was charged with assault causing bodily harm and mischief in connection with a December 1st, 2006 incident involving Bent Jensen, the accused murderer's father.

The extent of Bent Jensen's injuries was not known and the mischief charge related to damage caused to a door and window.

Jensen-Huot entered a guilty plea at his first court appearance on the assault charge, representing himself without a lawyer. In exchange for the plea, the Crown withdrew the mischief charge.

The man was ordered to submit a DNA sample and was sentenced to 90 days in jail on February 2nd, 2007. Jensen-Huot served 60 days of the three-month sentence and was then released.

The Edmonton Sun and Edmonton Journal spoke to 79-year-old Raymond Huot, Jensen-Huot's estranged grandfather, who expressed sadness over recent events in his grandson's life.

Ray said he has not spoken with his daughter – Haldane's mother – or his grandson for almost a decade since a family falling out.

"It's so tragic. I'm very distressed," Ray said. "My other daughter always thought Haldane was weird, she never wanted to let her son play with Haldane. She always told me he was a dangerous boy."

Ray said he only knew his grandson as a "normal, nice young boy."

"But I never thought he would ever do something like this," he said. "It's hard to believe."

He added that Haldane had one sister, last known to be working as a massage therapist in British Columbia.

Jensen-Huot's father, Bent Jensen, did not return the Sun's phone calls.

On April 22nd the family of Haldane Jensen-Huot issued a statement which was e-mailed by Michelle Huot, Jensen-Huot's mother.

We profoundly regret the death of Hans Alberts and the pain his family is now suffering.

They are in our thoughts and in our prayers.

We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and we extend our love to Haldane and remain committed to providing him with help and assistance.

He is also in our prayers.

This case will be tried in the courts ... and we are confident that the police and the courts will determine the facts of what has happened.

In the days following the arrest of Haldane Jensen-Huot, media collectively compiled a portait of the man from observations made by those who knew him.

CBC Edmonton spoke with Elliot Bridgewater who knew Haldane since Grade 10 and had online conversations with him on Facebook in the days before Alberts' murder.

Bridgewater said his friend talked about "going postal" and attacking either a police station, a downtown high-rise or an elementary school.

"I remember reading that and getting a sick feeling," he said.

Bridgewater described his friend as a smiling person who was "surprisingly open." By the next grade things started to change as Jensen-Huot talked about joining a gang and stealing cars. In addition, he became increasingly angry at his family and with the world in general.

After high school the two occasionally kept in touch. Bridgewater said Haldane became a "shell of his former self."

"There was no smile, there was no spark. I got a very dark vibe from him," Bridgewater said.

The former friends met up again on Facebook. One recent exhange began with Jensen-Huot writing: "I'm gonna to stab you."

Bridgewater responds with: "That's not very nice."

"Yea I know. It's pretty fucked up if you ask me."

Jensen-Huot's last entry in the online dialogue took place shortly before the attack on Alberts.

"I'm fine man, other than the occasional burst of rage," Haldane wrote.

Bridgewater told the CBC he did what he could to help his friend. He hoped to help others by bringing details of Jensen-Huot's online expressions to light.

"What I am trying to do with this interview is just to notify people of this to tell a story that I think needs to be told so people are aware in our community that there is a lot of kids like Haldane out there."

Bridgewater provided the public broadcaster with a transcript of his last conversation with Jensen-Huot, along with his personal impressions of his friend (note: edited by the CBC). The document opens as a .pdf.

A former co-worker, who spoke to the Edmonton Sun on condition of anonymity, said Jensen-Huot was obsessed with mass killings.

Over time, he said, Haldane was becoming increasingly disturbed and on February 27th, 2008 police had to be called.

On the job in a work truck, Jensen-Huot had begun ranting about killers.

"He could quote you every statistic about every school killer, their names, the number of victims they killed, the weapons they used," the man told the Sun.

"That day he started talking about Virginia Tech, saying he wanted to break the record and kill 33 people."

The Sun also spoke to a woman who first met Jensen-Huot in summer school in 1999 and said he was "totally normal and funny."

"We stopped talking the next year, in Grade 10. He hung out with a group that were all into drugs. I remember some kids had records for drugs or assault. I knew he was weird but I never expected he'd be charged with something like this."

The woman was disturbed by Jensen-Huot's Facebook site. "It's messed up," she said.

Another former acquaintance said the once-friendly teen had gone bad in high school, becoming involved with the wrong crowd and increasingly in the drug culture.

"He became heavily involved in that, he started becoming really weird and so I never became close friends with him," said a 22-year-old man.

Sarah Van Dusen told the Sun she dated Jensen-Huot briefly years ago and couldn't believe he's been accused of second-degree murder.

"I spoke to him maybe five, six days ago on Facebook, and that's why I'm just completely shocked about the whole thing," she said. "(He was) a gentle person who was always taking care of his family."

Asked about the comments Haldance posted online Van Dusen said, "Everyone's depressed sometimes. I didn't think he was more messed up than anybody else."

"Haldane is a gentle person," she said. "He would never hurt anyone."

Candis Mullen told the Edmonton Journal that Jensen-Huot didn't seem depressed when they last spoke, about a month ago.

"He was a great guy," Mullen said in an e-mail. "But he always seemed to hang around with the wrong kind of people.

"To be honest, I think there was something wrong at the time of the incident. I find it hard to believe that he would just go and stab someone."

The last time a chief Crown prosecutor took on a case was in 1995.

On December 7th of that year, four days after being released from jail, Peter John Brighteyes abducted 42-year-old Sheila Salter from a covered parking lot near her workplace at 124th Street and 112th Avenue. She was raped, beaten and stabbed to death, and her body was dumped in an abandoned abandoned farmhouse near Chipman, 73 kilometres away. Her body was not found for ten days.

Brighteyes was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years on April 24th, 1997. The day after being convicted he was found hanging by his shoelaces from a coathook in his segregation cell at the Edmonton Institution. An inquiry was later held.

Prior to that the chief Crown dealt with the death of Edmonton Police Const. Ezio Faraone.

Faraone, 33, a member of the Edmonton Police Service tactical squad, was shot to death investigating a robbery on June 25th, 1990 involving Albert Foulston and Jerry Crews.

When Faraone approached their getaway car, Foulston put his hands in the air. Crews, hidden in the back seat, blasted Faraone in the heart with a shotgun.

Crews was convicted of first-degree murder and given a sentence a life in prison with no parole for 25 years. Foulston was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 20 years in prison. On May 31st, 2006 he was denied his first chance at parole.

Faraone was honoured by a statue erected in a park named after him. Ezio Faraone Park, located at the northwest end of the High Level Bridge, opened in 1992.

deadmonton 2008 - hans alberts
