Mentally handicapped man sentenced to six years for fatal stabbing
Lethbridge – A 41-year-old mentally handicapped Alberta man with an IQ of 45 has been given six years in prison for fatally stabbing his sister’s boyfriend during a drunken fight.
Stacey Charles Wahpistikwan was sentenced more than a year after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the death of 36-year-old Silas Kiseyinewakup.
He admitted to stabbing Kiseyinewakup during a confrontation outside the trailer they were living in near Taber.
Sentencing was pushed back multiple times, due to delays in the preparation of numerous pre-sentence reports for Wahpistikwan.
