MEADOW LAKE – A woman accused of killing 43-year-old Kenneth Merasty last year is expected to be sentenced May 31.
Lucy Annelle Whitecap, 32, of Nipawin, was originally charged with second-degree murder, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, and breach of an undertaking. Court documents, however, show that she will be sentenced on the lesser charge of manslaughter after the Crown and defence reached a joint agreement. A preliminary hearing was scheduled in February but didn’t proceed.
Whitecap, and Conrad Joseph Jay Merasty, of Flying Dust First Nation, were charged with Kenneth Merasty’s death after Meadow Lake RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing at a home on Deer Street on Flying Dust First Nation Feb. 9, 2021. Kenneth Merasty was found suffering from serious injuries and he was pronounced deceased a short time later.
