Sentences handed down in 2009 murder of Stanley MacKechnie

 

Sentences have been handed down in the 2009 murder of 17-year-old Stanley MacKechnie.

 

MacKechnie was from The Pas but was living in Thompson when his body was found inside a townhouse in the Eastwood Area on April 10th.

 

36-year-old Trevor Mercredi and 25-year-old Wilfred Cook pleaded guilty to second degree murder on Wednesday. They’ve been sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility of parole for 14 years for Mercredi and 12 years for Cook.

 

26-year-old Howard Pagee, who was also involved in the murder, is already serving a sentence for manslaughter for his role.

 

The three were involved in a street gang at the time of the murder.

 

RCMP Sergeant Ben Sewell says after almost 7 years, this is one more step of the grieving process for the family.
