SASKATOON – An Alberta man charged in a Saskatoon murder case has been found guilty of uttering death threats to a staff member at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre.
Joshua Dylan Petrin, 31, was sentenced to four months of time served after the conclusion of his on-again-off-again trial, which was adjourned in February when Petrin’s lawyer withdrew from the case.
The court found that Petrin uttered the threats while he was in custody awaiting trial in the death of Lorry Santos, a Saskatoon woman who was fatally shot in a case of mistaken identity.
Petrin is accused of ordering two men to kill a former Alberta gang member who lived in Saskatoon, though it’s alleged they got the wrong address and killed the 34-year-old mother of four, who was home on maternity leave.
He is charged with first-degree murder and his trial is expected to begin in September.
