Another suspect in the homicide of Adrian Snider has plead guilty to a lesser charge. Dominic Decque plead guilty to manslaughter in Grande Prairie court on Monday.
Decque is one of four people charged after the remains of 25 year old Snider were found in a rural area outside of Grande Prairie in May 2015. He was originally charged with first or second degree murder, and the Crown moved for his direct indictment in November 2016. A sentencing date has been set for April 13th.
Decque’s brother Patrick Decque was also initially charged with first or second degree murder, which was later downgraded to manslaughter and accessory to murder. He has a trial scheduled for June 4th to 22nd. Police have said the two were known to Snider.
Another trial has already been avoided, as Tommy Paul plead guilty to manslaughter in November 2017. His trial for first degree murder had been set for this month, and his sentencing will be held in Edmonton on February 21st.
The fourth person charged in the case is Courtney McQuinn, who has a preliminary hearing on her accessory after the fact to murder charge in August.
