BC couple makes last legal push to bring children of their missing daughter back to Canada

A British Columbia couple is making one last legal push to see their two grandchildren.

Al and Kathy Kasatskin will appear next week before Peru’s Superior Court asking for custody of their 10- and seven-year-old grandchildren. Failing that, they’re hoping to at least get visitation rights.

The children’s father is accused of killing their mother and remains a fugitive. The children are currently living with the man’s mother in Peru.

Kimberlee Kasatkin was last seen alive on Nov. 26, 2016.

Her partner Christopher Franz Bettocchi has been charged with femicide — the killing of a woman — under Peruvian law.

Kimberlee’s body was never found, but surveillance video depicting Bettocchi dragging a heavy bag was played in court.

As Rumina Daya reports, the family says this latest court fight is their last hope.
