One of two individuals accused in connection to an incident on Moosomin First Nation in February of last year has been sentenced for manslaughter.
Troy Swiftwolfe entered a guilty plea to manslaughter in court Wednesday.
Swiftwolfe was sentenced in Queen’s Bench Court, Battleford to a term of seven and a half years. He receives remand credit of one year, which means he will serve the remaining six and a half years in a federal penitentiary.
Details on the underlying facts of the case cannot be released, as a non-publication order has been issued in the case.
The case against co-accused Taryn Cote remains before the courts. His matters are due back in court next month.
