One of four men charged in the death of a Calgary teenager in late-2016 has been sentenced.

Last summer, Ashraf Jasem Ajil pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to manslaughter in the Dec. 3, 2016 death of Ezzulddin Al-Ogaidi.

The 17-year-old’s body was found in a remote area just north of Morley two days after police were called to a home in Monterey Park for a check on welfare. At the time of the call, a neighbour claimed to have heard what sounded like a gunshot, but nothing unusual was found.
