She was found dead after committing suicide last Sunday after she was bullied continuously once the photo went viral.
The site reports:
Police had concluded there were no grounds to charge anyone in the Canadian case after an initial yearlong investigation. But the RCMP in Halifax now says a person who provided new information is willing to verify who the suspects are and cooperate with investigators, who have come under public criticism for their handling of the case. RCMP Cpl. Scott MacRae said he could not provide any details about who the source is or what the new information is. He would not say whether they were a witness. He said it’s too early to speculate if there will be charges. The family of Rehtaeh is happy for the news and ‘welcome the re-opening of the file'”.
