In October of 2014, Maskwacis RCMP were called to a local home to investigate a stabbing. The unnamed victim was rushed to hospital in Wetaskiwin, but died of her wounds.

A few days later, on Oct. 20, 2014, police arrested Charmaine Cheralee Louis-Crier, 37, on a charge of second-degree murder.

Louis-Crier pleaded guilty in Wetaskiwin provincial court early in July and was sentenced on Tuesday.

She has 33 months left to serve and has been prohibited from owning firearms.
