Stanford Kokokons pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the 2021 stabbing death of 27-year-old Lance Wanakamik that occurred following an evening of alcohol consumption near Mud River
THUNDER BAY — A Whitesand First Nation man who admitted responsibility for the stabbing death of a community member in a remote area near Armstrong could spend the next eight years in custody.
The site, which has several cabins, is located approximately 35 kilometres east of Armstrong and is only accessible by snowmobile or a rail line. No one witnessed the attack, but another individual inside the cabin said he heard Wanakamik cry out: ‘He stabbed me. He stabbed me.’ Paramedics arriving on the scene confirmed that Wanakamik had already died before they could administer any life-saving measures.
Crown attorney Matthew Humphreys is seeking a custodial sentence of eight years, citing alcohol as one of the major contributing factors in this case.
