A man who killed two people and injured another on the James Smith Cree Nation in 2021 has been sentenced to two concurrent life sentences, and won't be eligible for parole for 16 years.
On Monday, Shawn Moostoos, 36, pleaded guilty in Court of King's Bench in Melfort, Sask., to two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, a court official confirmed on Tuesday.
Moostoos was to stand trial on Monday in the incidents, but he instead pleaded guilty.
RCMP say that on Sept. 5, 2021, following an altercation at a home in James Smith Cree Nation, two people — a 37-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman — were fatally shot and a 44-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
At the time RCMP issued an emergency alert. Moostoos was the subject of a nearly 24-hour manhunt until he was arrested the next day in Melfort, about 30 kilometres southeast of James Smith Cree Nation.
He was initially charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
