A young Red Deer man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for the death of a woman from Camrose nearly three years ago.
Mackenzie Harris, 22, was reported missing on August 1, 2015 and her remains were found in a wooded area near Calmar two days later. An autopsy determined her death to be a homicide.
Second-degree murder charges against Dylan Bakke of Red Deer and three others were announced in March 2016 following a seven-month-long investigation by the RCMP Edmonton Major Crimes Unit. Bakke was also charged with committing an indignity to a human body.
Bakke, who is now 23-years-old, was scheduled to stand trial last month in Leduc. He instead pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Bakke was sentenced to an additional year after also pleading guilty to committing an indignity to a human body. He was given 40.5 months’ credit for time spent in custody and has just under nine years left to serve behind bars.
