The man who savagely stabbed to death a 22-year-old Carleton University student a judge would later call an “angel on earth” has escaped from Dorchester Penitentiary.
Steven Bugden, who murdered Angela Tong in 1997, was discovered missing during a 10 p.m. count at the New Brunswick prison. Officials at the multi-level security federal institution say they immediately informed RCMP and issued the arrest warrant after searching the facility and surrounding area with a police dog.
Bugden, 45, is described as 5’5“ and about 188 pounds with a fair complexion, blue eyes and blond hair.
He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in 1999.
The court heard that Bugden, who became infatuated with Tong as they grew up together in Kanata, had acquaintances help him lure her to a Carling Avenue motel where he planned to propose even though they’d never dated. There, when she tried to leave, he stabbed her 19 times in the back and head from behind before stuffing her body into a duffle bag and dumping it in a snowbank.
Tong, who headed a Bible study group and was weeks from graduation, was buried on her 23rd birthday.
Carleton University student Angela Tong was stabbed to death in 1997.
Bugden’s sentencing hearing heard Tong’s voice in a radio interview speaking of her faith, leading the judge who sentenced him for his “horrible” crime to say that ”hopefully Angela is now with the God she loved so dearly.”
Bugden vanished from the news until 2009, when he sued the federal government for $50,000, claiming he’d suffered “extreme pain in his left testicle” and a hernia when exercise equipment he was using at the medium-security Bath Institution near Kingston malfunctioned.
In a lawsuit filed in the Federal Court of Canada last week, Bugden claims he suffered a hernia after using malfunctioning exercise equipment at the medium-security Bath Institution near Kingston, and seeks $50,000 in damages.
Two years ago, he claims in court documents, he was working out in the recreation area of the prison, using the leg-curl machine. The machine requires one to lay face down on a bench and pull the weight upwards with the legs, exercising the hamstring muscles.
Bugden had the machine set at 50 pounds when he “felt increased resistance and suddenly without warning heard a loud banging noise. The plaintiff’s feet came forward and hit his buttocks,” the document says.
Bugden, now 37, says he immediately “noticed extreme pain in his left testicle.” He was then refused a trip to the hospital, he claims.
He lived with undiagnosed pain for two years, he says. Only in July 2009 did he learn he had an inguinal hernia — a protrusion through the groin muscle — that will require surgery to correct, he claims.
Tong is among the many women commemorated on a monument honouring women who were abused and murdered by men at the Minto Park Women’s Monument on Elgin Street.
