More than three months after a devastating hit-and-run and crime-scene robbery, Hamilton police have charged a 29-year-old Hamilton man with multiple fraud charges for allegedly stealing the purse from a woman who lay dead on the road.

Early September 18, Jiao Shi Qi — a 20-year-old Columbia International College student — was walking home when she was hit and killed on Main and Catharine streets.

As she lay on the road, broken glass and other debris from the wreckage scattered around her, someone stole her purse, said Detective Sergeant Steve Hrab.

Less than a day later a $113 charge at Bell Mobility showed up on the victim’s credit card. And the spending continued.

The credit card of the victim’s boyfriend Freddy Shi was also in Jiao’s purse.

Hrab said it has taken until this past Tuesday evening to have enough information to lay charges. He would not comment on when in the investigation the accused was identified.

Jason Dave Trotter, 29, is charged with four counts of fraudulently using a credit card, two counts of theft under $5,000 and two counts of possession under $5,000.

...
WTF, who does that.

"Trotter, however, has developed an illness since the alleged incidents and is in hospital. It’s unclear when he will be able to next appear in court."

I wonder what else was in that international student's purse.

Fuji, Fuji, Fuji,

Slow day in Hog Town?

It's a terrible thing that happened and a young person is dead because of it, but it is far from the worst thing that happens in the Hammer!

It's been good to know ya
The hit and run driver is still out there? I'd say he's a bigger dirtbag.
Angelo Epifani, 61, of St. Catharines is charged separately with impaired driving causing death, operating a motor vehicle with more than 0.08 mg of alcohol in his system causing death, and failing to remain at the scene of a collision.

I'm just flabbergasted that someone came across the scene of an accident where someone was seriously hurt or dead, and instead of calling 911 and trying to help, potentially saving a life, he robbed the victim.

It sounds like the unfortunate woman was already dead/dying, or at least that's the official version, but there is likely no way he would have known that for sure.

I used to manage a few retail stores in Hamilton. Columbia College studends were great regulars - their families had money. One of my regular clients used to walk in at 4 every day - buy a new outfit. I'd steam it and she'd walk out happy..... he could've likely had access to a lot if he took advantage to whatever was in her purse.

The case is disgusting nonetheless...

Yep, that was pretty low. As the saying goes, his parents must be proud.
I guess he doesn't believe in vengeful spirits.

Think of all the child laborers in her daddy's factories back in China that die a slow death every day.

No, her head might be half crush, her guts spilling out, a leg rip off and he would not know she's already dead. Didn't she get run over by a car, what do you think happens to the body ?

Since she no long needed the cash, this dead beat help himself to it. Maybe he seen his friend get shot and killed in the past, maybe death to him isn't so shocking. Instead of freaking out and screaming, he stole...oh well, I don't think its the same as mugging a person--which this low life might also do

I agree with fuji, total scumbag. The last thing I am thinking when seeing a dead girl lying in the street is taking her purse. Mr Trotter should have a special place in hell reserved for him.

Agreed but why no outrage for the murdering asshole who actually KILLED her! Then drove away!
The guy who killed her did something extremely stupid, he got behind the wheel of a car drunk. He then panicked, and showed really poor judgement in fleeing from the tragedy he inflicted. But it's primarily reckless stupidity that he is going to be punished for, I doubt he really intended to cause anyone harm. I don't mean to let him off the hook--I am just saying, it's not a cold evil heart that drives drunk, it's just a stupid/arrogant/reckless one.

The guy who stole her purse can't blame stupidity or poor judgement for his acts. It verges on being pure evil.

I am glad that the drunk driver is going to pay a stiff penalty for his stupidity, and I suspect that he feels horrible about having killed someone--but I don't find stupidity and the neglect of the drunk driver as morally reprehensible as coldly stealing from a dying person who desperately needs your help.
