Mirasty sentencing moved to April 29 in manslaughter case
The man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the Sequin Mooswa homicide investigation was originally scheduled for his sentencing hearing in North Battleford Provincial Court Friday, but it was moved to later in the month due to some complications.
On Oct. 27, 2020, Keenan Mirasty, now 23, of North Battleford entered his plea to unlawfully causing the death of Sequin Mooswa on March 8, 2020 and thereby commit manslaughter. A charge of second-degree murder in the case was stayed once Mirasty pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
Defence lawyer Michael Nolin, who appeared by telephone in court on April 8, said there was a case of COVID-19 in his office so he requested more time before the sentencing.
In the public gallery of the courtroom a relative of Mooswa began sobbing after hearing the sentencing would not proceed as expected.
