Area Man Pleads Guilty to Murder Charge

A Shoal Lake First Nation man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2007 death of Ashley Smith of Naicatchewenin First Nation.

Bronson Green was to face a trial by jury last week, but opted to appear before a Superior Court judge alone and pleaded guilty on last Thursday.

He'll be sentenced November 25th.

Green was charged after Smith's body was found in the bush near the main community road on Naicatchewenin in October 2007.
