Expert tells sentencing hearing teen who killed ex-girlfriend not psychopathic
REGINA — A clinical psychologist says a young man who killed his teenage girlfriend when he was 16 does not meet the criteria for psychopathy.
Hannah Leflar was also 16 when she was repeatedly stabbed with a hunting knife in her Regina home in January 2015.
The Crown is seeking an adult sentence for her killer, now 19, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
Dr. Terry Nicholaichuk, who met with the youth three times and wrote two reports, appeared for the defence at the stabber’s sentencing hearing.
