Widow of murdered Hamilton father Tim Bosma enraged over senseless killing

HAMILTON – The widow of a Hamilton father who was murdered after taking two men for a test drive of a truck he was trying to sell online is enraged she lost her husband over a vehicle.

In a highly emotional interview with CHCH News, Sharlene Bosma says she doesn’t understand why her husband was killed, which makes dealing with his death “so much harder.”

Tim Bosma never returned home after taking a pair of prospective buyers for a test drive on May 6.

His remains were found about a week later burned beyond recognition at a southwestern Ontario farm belonging to one of two men charged with first-degree murder in his death.

Sharlene Bosma says all she was able to bury were the remains of her husband contained in a small box.

She says the way she was forced to say goodbye to her husband fills her with rage, particularly when she considers her nightmare began with a truck that wasn’t even “a good one.”
