Kyle Braeden Furness, the man charged with the murder of Yorkton convenience store worker Jim Wiebe this summer, pled guilty to second-degree murder and breaking & entering before a Court of Queen's Bench judge on November 4.
Furness will be sentenced on December 7.
The 20-year-old was initially charged with murder in the first degree. Second-degree murder carries the same mandatory sentence of life imprisonment, but allows for the possibility of earlier parole eligibility: 10 to 25 years rather than the 25 years required for first-degree murder.
The breaking & entering charge was the result of an unrelated incident in which Furness broke into another service station several days before Wiebe's murder.
