GEORGETOWN, P.E.I. — A 17-year-old youth has been sentenced to custody, community supervision and probation for providing false statements and misleading police in relation to the death of Tyson MacDonald.
The false and misleading statements were about the last time the youth sentenced April 19 saw 17-year-old Tyson. The court heard that instead, the co-accused, who was also 17 years old at the time of the offence, allegedly shot and killed Tyson on the night of Dec. 14 and dumped his body in an area off the Line Road in Kings County.The youth in court on April 19 previously told police that he was fearful of what might have happened from the co-accused if he did not lie to police and go along with the false story.
Tyson’s sister described him as having a kind soul and being funny. She said that Tyson would have forgiven the youth. Even so, she didn’t forgive him for the crimes he committed and the hours wasted searching for Tyson that could have been avoided if the accused had told the truth.
