An O’Chiese First Nation woman who stabbed a man to death in 2014 will be sentenced in July.

Sherilyn Kyrene Beaverbones, 21, was found guilty in January of manslaughter, assault causing bodily harm and mischief.

The woman was originally charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Kieron Dale Beaverbones, 20. The two Beaverbones are not closely related.

Rocky Mountain House RCMP responding to a disturbance call on the reserve found two people injured about 1:15 a.m. on April 7, 2014. Kieron Beaverbones died at the scene of a stab wound to the upper chest.

The other person was treated at Rocky Mountain Hospital.

Sherilyn Beaverbones will be sentenced on July 4 in Red Deer provincial court.
