Teen Gets 3-Year Sentence for Quadruple Killing

0:00It's April 24th. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 16-year-old boy just got hit with a three-year sentence for four counts of manslaughter in a quadruple killing on Kerry the Kettle-Nakota. Nation. He pleaded guilty back in February after facing first-degree murder charges originally. The judge handed down the ruling Friday in Regina Provincial Court, and his name stays protected under youth laws. The murders went down in February 2025, East of Regina, claiming the lives of two men and two women, 34-year-old Tracy, Hadamani, 51-year-old Terry Jack, 44-year-old Sheldon Quessence, and 47-year-old Shauna Faye. Three others got arrested, too. A 17-year-old boy charged with four first-degree murders plus attempted murder on someone else, 18-year-old. Darius Reset, facing four first-degree counts with his trial set for late February and 67-year-old Lauren Elvis Hadamani, charged as an Anne, accessory after the fact.

1:03Crown and defense agreed on the sentence in a joint pitch. Two years locked up in custody, followed by one year of community supervision. It's the max under youth rules, and he gets no credit for time already served. This case still ripples through the community as those other trials loom, reminding us how youth justice weighs accountability against second chances, and tragedies like this.
