Monday marks the 35th anniversary of the murder of Ronald Jack Henderson and the Special Investigation Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division continues to investigate the case.
On April 5, 1986, police responded to a report of an injured person at 90 Withrod Drive in Halifax. Officers located Ronald suffering from life-threatening-injuries, and he was transported to hospital where he later died.
Ronald had been working as a taxi driver with Armdale Taxi, and at the time, he picked up two passengers on Herring Cove Road in Halifax. Investigators believe an altercation occurred in front of 90 Withrod Drive. The passengers took Ronald’s taxi and left Ronald seriously injured by the side of the road. Ronald’s taxi was later located abandoned in a local school parking lot.
Investigators believe there are people who have information about Ronald’s murder. We hope that the passage of time will encourage someone to come forward with what they know; it is never too late and what might seem like an insignificant detail may help progress the investigation.
