A Manitoba judge sentenced a woman to a 10 -year prison in the death of her ex -boyfriend’s death, whose murder left the family, friends and the first “significant” influence on the nation.
Sheryl Lean Thompson was initially accused of killing a second degree in the death of her former partner Lance Moustel in 2022, but convicted for a low allegation of mangelotter.
The two were in a relationship for almost two and a half years and lived together in Moussettele’s house on Pine Creek First Nation in the northwest of Vinnipag.
At the time of the attack, Thompson was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine.
The court heard from the children, mother, colleagues and community members of MOOSETAIL, who was on the people around them about the influence of the first 51 -year -old nation security officer.
Court of Kings Bench Justice Sandra Zinchuk says that MOOSETAIL Pine was a leader and role model in Creek and his sudden and tragic death made the community feel heartbroken, weak and insecure.

Zinchuk said in a recent judgment, “The effect of mouston’s death can be earn in the same word:”.
The court heard that mouston and thumpson would argue about finance, jealousy and use of women’s substances. Moosetail did not drink or used drugs.
Both of them ended their relationship, but Thompson remained at home as he tried to find a new place to live. The day of MOOSETAIL’s death, Thompson was “extremely intoxicated” after using alcohol and cocaine.
Thompson asked 911 to report incorrectly that MOOSETAIL was choking her. The call, which was presented in the court, picked up the mousetail shouting in pain and said that Thompson stabbed her.
Thompson gave several versions to the operator as to how the mousette was stabbed, in which he was convicted for his injuries.
Moosetail’s son went to his father’s house as he was waiting for an ambulance, which was about an hour away.
“He remembers his father saying,” I love you my son, “and was the last thing he heard,” Zinchuk said.
The court heard that Thompson’s childhood was “chaotic” and was marked by the use of matter, domestic violence, physical discipline and sexual harassment.
After his mother died in 2005, he started using cocaine. He has a limited, dated and unrelated criminal record, with his last convict in 2009 a drinking and driving crime.
Derek Napinak, head of Minegoziibe Anishnabe, provided a aggrieved influence statement, in which Moustel is called the face of his community and that his death first affects the nation.
RCMP CPL. Ryan Pawe said that MOOSETAIL’s death has shaken members of the local contingent, who depended on him for a reliable face and a quiet appearance during the moments of uncertainty.
