The youth pleaded guilty early last year to the 2021 beating death of 18-year-old Liam Slipperjack
THUNDER BAY – A youth who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the beating death of 18-year-old Liam Slipperjack will not be sentenced as an adult.
Police located Slipperjack in the Limbrick Street area in the early morning hours of April 30, 2021 with severe injuries to his face and head. Following Keewaykapow’s guilty plea to the lesser charge of manslaughter, he was sentenced to 5.5 years in custody to be followed by 24 months of probation. Defence counsel disagreed, arguing the Crown failed to demonstrate the youth is not entitled to the principle of diminished moral blameworthiness afforded under the Youth Criminal Justice Act and that rehabilitation and reintegration should be the primary considerations in the youth’s sentencing.
