KELOWNA, B.C. – A 29-year-old Kelowna man has pleaded guilty to two assaults that took place near Ben Lee Park in August, one an attack on the street and the other a stabbing in an apartment.
Derrick Antoine used a machete to attack a 22-year-old man Aug. 8, leaving him with facial wounds that required numerous stitches.
On Aug. 16, Antoine stabbed a woman in the back with a knife at an apartment on Franklyn Road.
On his Facebook page on Aug. 3, under the name Antoine Wins, Antoine wrote several long posts prior to his crimes, including this excerpt:
“My life is drastically changing right now. And im not sure if its falling apart or falling into place. But i am sure that what ever happens next will be my last act, so one last chance to get the nerve and just go for it 100.”
Antoine will be back in court Jan. 12 for sentencing.
