‘Not guilty’ verdicts for 3 men accused in 2004 murder
Saskatoon courtroom erupted Tuesday morning with cries of relief and tears of joy as friends and family members celebrated not guilty verdicts for Kenneth Tingle, Jonathan Dombrowsky and Long Nam Luu.
The three men were charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of Isho Hana, who was gunned down near his home on Preston Avenue.
Hana’s death was alleged to be a contract killing carried about by Neil Yakimchuk, who is facing a second trial on his own first-degree murder charge stemming from Hana’s death.
Tingle, Dombrowsky and Luu were accused of organizing for Yakimchuk to kill Hana as part of a battle over drug turf.
