A 14-year-old boy who pleaded guilty to his involvement in the fatal stabbing of a Winnipeg man at a public library in December will be sentenced in October.
The accused, whose name is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, waived his right to a trial in mid-June, and Wednesday a judge set a sentencing hearing for Oct. 3.
The boy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the slaying of 28-year-old Tyree Cayer, who was stabbed in the Millenium Library in downtown Winnipeg on Dec. 11, 2022, after a verbal argument turned violent.
