Sentencing delayed again in Sunchild First Nation stabbing death

Sep 17, 2020 | 3:23 PM

Sentencing has been delayed by at least four more months for a woman who admitted to fatally stabbing another woman at the Sunchild First Nation.

Chelsey Lagrelle, 24, was to be sentenced in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday for the death of Samantha Sharpe in 2018.

Her sentencing had originally been scheduled for March before being delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yesterday, however, court heard that the Crown had not had enough time to review and respond to sentencing documents from the defence that had been submitted only recently.

The case is scheduled to return to court again on Jan. 15, 2021.

Sharpe, who was 25, died from stab wounds she suffered during an incident a home on the Sunchild First Nation in the early morning hours of Dec. 12, 2018.

Lagrelle was first charged with manslaughter and assault with a weapon before the Crown upgraded the first charge to second-degree murder. However, she eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter last December.
