Man charged with death of mother, pleads guilty to manslaughter
Standing before Justice Labach, and behind a plexi-glass screen with his lawyer at his side, a man charged with the death of his mother entered a plea of guilty.
Walter Geering appeared Thursday at Court of King’s Bench in Battleford.
Orginally charged with second degree murder, Geering was instead arraigned on a lesser charge of manslaughter.
The case dates back to June, 2022, when RCMP responded to a report of an injured individual at a home on 93 Street in North Battleford. Officers and paramedics found a woman who was declared deceased.
