SASKATOON – The fate of Neil Yakimchuk is in the hands of a jury.
Yakimchuk is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Isho Hana on a Saskatoon street in April 2004.
Hana was gunned down on Preston Avenue which, according to police, was the result of a drug turf war.

Three other men have been charged and are scheduled to go on trial in September.
Testimony and evidence heard at Yakimchuk’s trial is under a publication ban to keep those trials from being tainted.
The jury has been charged and have been sequestered as they decide Yakimchuk’s fate.
Yakimchuk was found guilty earlier this year in Calgary of first-degree murder in the death of his future brother-in-law Juan Dequina.
