PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – Relatives and friends of the victim cheered when a jury returned a second-degree murder conviction in the trial of a man charged in a beating in northern Saskatchewan.
Wayne Moshenko, who was charged in the August 2011 death of Ricky Bear near Prince Albert, was found guilty yesterday after jurors deliberated for 90 minutes.

The panel heard that Moshenko, Bear and a third man, Cody Walker, had been drinking and left the Muskoday First Nation in a truck but got stuck on a rutted road.
They got out but for some reason, Walker hit Bear with his fist and Moshenko joined in before the victim was eventually beaten to death.
A sentencing hearing will take place Oct. 16, while Walker has previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
