Donna Ellen Jones was a young woman from Ottawa, Ontario, who was tragically murdered in 2009 by her husband, Mark Peter Hutt. Over several days, she endured severe abuse, including beatings, scalding with boiling water, and being shot with airgun pellets. Despite her life-threatening injuries, Hutt refused to seek medical help, ultimately leading to her death from septic shock. Her case drew national attention in Canada as a harrowing example of intimate partner violence and the devastating consequences of unchecked abuse. Hutt was later convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
