Man Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter in Wife's Stabbing

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Canada News Today, where local news meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 56-year-old man from St. Pazil, La Grande, just pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his estranged wife. Muhammad Ali Mosby admitted to stabbing 51-year-old Hayet Bouguellid in the neck back on February 18, 2024. During a heated argument at their home, he got hit with a second-degree murder charge the very next day, but this plea deal dropped it down and skipped a trial that was about to kick off at. The Longwheel Courthouse. A publication banned shields the two witnesses and key motive details, so we only know they had been clashing over some lingering issue. The statement affacts notes multiple neck stabs, two of them fatal, with Mosbos showing zero reaction as she bled out on the floor. Superior Court Justice Pierre Lebrie kept that ban in place at the prosecutor's request. Now sentencing arguments roll out over two days early next month, where those witnesses could drop victim impact statements.

1:01This plea wraps one chapter on a family torn apart, but the final call on punishment looms, reminding us how arguments can turn deadly fast.
