A woman from the Sunchild First Nation has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection to the death of another woman a year ago.

Chelsey Lagrelle, 24, entered her plea Monday morning in Red Deer provincial court.

RCMP responded to a call on Dec. 12, 2018 of a person in distress on the Sunchild First Nation. Officers arrived to find the body of Samantha Sharpe, 25, inside the residence, along with a 24-year-old man who was injured.

Lagrelle was arrested at different location without incident by Rocky Mountain House RCMP and charged with manslaughter and assault with a weapon. The latter count is set to be withdrawn in exchange the manslaughter guilty plea.

Lagrelle is due back in court on Jan. 27 at which time an agreed statement of facts will be read into the record.
