Sentencing is scheduled later this winter for two of three people charged in a fatal fire in the County of Wetaskiwin two-and-a-half years ago.
Linden Joseph Lee Buffalo, 34, of Maskwacis, and Donovan Curtis Lightning, 31, of Wetaskiwin, are scheduled for sentencing in Wetaskiwin Court of King’s Bench on March 18, 2024.
A third individual charged, Jake Ernest Lee Green, 39, of Maskwacis, was found not guilty of second-degree murder, and arson-disregard for human life, in Wetaskiwin Court of King’s Bench on Oct. 6, 2023, and ordered for discharge. The decision followed a September jury trial held in Wetaskiwin.
It was on June 23, 2021, just after 7:30 a.m., when Wetaskiwin RCMP were called to a structure fire on a rural property in the Usona district of the County of Wetaskiwin.
